  The baby's love for picking nails is related to their daily habits and the lack of parental care. Baby's usual habits, that is to say, when the baby first finds nail picking interesting, parents should not intervene too much and should find things to distract the baby's attention in a timely manner. That is to say, just shift the baby's attention to something else.

  Some babies spend a long time with their grandparents, but they don't know how to communicate with them while taking care of them. When a baby wants to communicate with their parents, and their parents are busy with work, it becomes difficult for the baby to feel their care over time, leading to some bad habits such as picking their nails.

  Especially for some older babies, especially those who have reached the age of three or four, they may feel stressed when interacting with peers, but without relief and release, they will resort to picking their nails to vent. The child at home likes to pick their nails, so don't scold them. Spend more time with the baby, go to the park, play in places with many children, and help the baby open up.
