Some parents often find that their children like to bite their nails, and this unhygienic habit often gives parents a headache. And sometimes it is not easy to correct for children, and this phenomenon can also confuse parents. So, why do children like to bite their nails?
1. Children's tendency to bite their nails may be related to mental stress. For example, when a child enters daycare, school, or moves to a new environment, it can easily lead to emotional abnormalities in the child. Especially introverted and sensitive children are more likely to exhibit such abnormal behavior. And biting your nails can alleviate the anxiety in your heart. Some children may gradually reduce and disappear their tendency to bite their fingernails after adapting to the environment.
2. Children who frequently bite their nails may also be caused by certain diseases, such as those with pica, who often eat things that cannot be eaten normally, such as paper, soil, and biting their fingernails. Children also lack certain trace elements in their bodies, such as iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, etc., which is a common reason for their tendency to bite their fingernails.
3. When parents discover that their children have a bad habit of biting their nails, they should provide more care in a timely manner to relieve their children's tension. If it cannot be effectively improved, it should be considered to be related to the cause of the disease and seek medical examination in a timely manner. After discovering the cause of the disease, the primary disease should be actively treated.
