Children's nail biting is a bad habit that needs to be corrected. Especially when children's nails are not clean and have bacteria attached, they are easily infected by bacteria after biting their nails. So, how can children change their nail biting behavior?
If a child is biting their nails, they can often have their nails trimmed and take them to the hospital for relevant examinations to see if it is caused by a lack of certain trace elements in the body. Then take measures to supplement corresponding trace elements, and adjust the diet to consume more relevant nutrients. Spend more time with children in daily life and remind them to shift their attention away from biting their nails.
In addition, parents should be more patient in correcting their children's nail biting. Don't be too impatient and forcefully force your child not to bite their nails. The formation and correction of any habit require a certain amount of time. Nail biting may just be a way for children to self resolve their fears, lack of security, anxiety, and nervousness. Parents should communicate with their children as much as possible.
It is recommended to make children understand the harm caused by nail biting, especially the harm to their own health. Make the child aware of the need to proactively change. During the period when children break the bad habit of biting their nails, parents should accompany and encourage their children, and even a little progress is worthy of praise. Believe that your child can change bad habits.
