Babies may develop many bad habits during their growth process due to proper parental supervision, and finger gnawing is one of them. These behavioral habits have a certain impact on children's psychological growth and health, and need to be corrected in a timely manner. So, how can children quit eating fingernails?
1. Eat on time
Most children's love for nibbling on their nails is due to not feeding them in a timely manner when they were hungry, which caused them to develop a bad habit of sucking on their fingers. So, it is important to pay more attention to the baby's eating habits, provide them with food on time, and help them develop the ability to eat regularly and control hunger and satiety.
2. Attention transfer
Children eating their fingers may also be due to the lack of parental companionship, causing the baby to feel lonely and bored. The best solution to this situation is for parents to spend more time playing with their children and provide them with more interesting toys, so that the baby's attention can be focused on other things, and they can gradually quit eating nails.
3. Create a good environment
Many children eat their fingers as a way to relieve stress, such as when they are too nervous and scared, they like to nibble on their fingers. Therefore, parents should try their best to keep their babies in a harmonious, warm, and good family environment. Education for babies should not always be harsh, but should be taught in a friendly manner, communicate patiently, and avoid shouting and scolding children frequently to reduce their psychological burden.
