It’s normal for kids to pick their nose or bite their nails, but these bad habits don't have to hang around. Here's how parents can gently help break them.
It’s normal for kids to pick their nose, bite their nails and put their hands down their pants. Here’s how to gently help them call it quits.Habits start innocently enough. Your kid has a booger in their nose, they stick their finger up there to get it out and they feel better. Overor an allergy season, if that finger up the nose brings relief enough times, it could turn into a habitual thing they do anytime they need comfort. Same goes for other habits, like nail-biting.
That doesn’t mean you should let them go at it with abandon, because many habits aren’t exactly socially acceptable, while others can cause harm. But how do you actually get them to stop? Here’s help.
If your kids are too young to understand the germ risk, save that chat for later. Instead, be explicit about what you want them to do with their hands. For example, saying “Hands down” is more effective than “Stop picking your nose.” Give them something to hold on to, like a toy or a sippy cup, to keep their hands busy.
