How to stop my child from chewing his finger nails?
On how to stop your child from chewing his nail though there
are lots of ways this can be done however the mum have a role to play in
helping her child to stop this habit while the child is still in his tender age
.
The good part is that being a child it can easily be
corrected or stopped compare to when he has gotten to his teen age this will be a bit difficult.
First the mother should always let him know why he should stop chewing hisnails, children learn very fast, this will be in his sub consciousness and any
time he about chewing his nails he will always remember what mum says about it.
There are various kinds of nail polish sold in drugs stores
or in pharmacy which is very good for this purpose, they have bitter taste and
should be rubbed on the particular finger with a visible color such that
anytime he tries to dip the finger in his mouth when he sees the color he will surly remember the taste and reframe
from such act. Also do not forget to always apply the nail polish on the exact
finger always until he finally stops chewing his finger..
You can as well get colorless nail polish the one that is
tasteless and then mix it with vinegar for the bitter taste this is more safer
than the use of nail polish because of the chemical it is made from and make
sue you always apply it. It will take about three to a month before he finally
stop chewing his nails hence you must monitor and be patience with him.
