Is it possible to stop toddler nail biting?
We must understand that kids at that age are not conscious of everything they do, so this makes it extremely hard for us to prevent toddlers form biting their nails. As I said before, any sign of punishing or threatening only makes things worse, so please avoid doing that. The best step to take would be having something at hand to distract them when you see they start biting their nails. Don’t do anything beyond that until they come to age to fully decide if they want to stop the nail biting habit, don’t even put nail biting creams on them – they perceive it as a punishment. It is 100% recommended also to keep their nails clean and trimmed, this way they will have less chance of biting their nails (along with all the bacteria stuck in it), and won’t be putting their health at risk when they put their fingers in their mouth. But follow the best advice, it is pretty simple: just ignore toddler nail biting and don’t associate anything with it. Author: Paolo Basauri Paolo Basauri invites y
