Why do children like to bite their nails

summary

When the child is 7 years old, he likes to bite his nails all the time. As long as his mouth is free, he has to bite his nails. How dirty the nails are. When the child plays outside all the time, his nails are full of ash and bacteria, and he doesn't like to wash his hands. Later, a friend gave me some advice, saying that her child's nail biting problem was cured in that way. Next, let's talk about why children like to bite their nails.

Why do children like to bite their nails

Reason 1: don't leave your child's hands idle. My child always likes to bite her nails when she is watching TV, so every time when she is watching TV, I give her a doll to hold, or give her a ball to pinch, to divert her attention, so I seldom bite her nails.

The second reason is to put some vinegar on children's hands. Vinegar is good for children's health, so I secretly apply some vinegar to children's hands every night. The next morning, when she wants to bite her nails, she feels the smell of vinegar and will not want to bite her nails any more.

Reason 3: never scold your child severely when she bites her nails. The child is very young, and the habit of biting nails is not something that the child can control, so we must help the child get rid of this bad habit step by step.
