How can I stop my 2 year old from biting his nails?




Answers:
It seems unusual for a two year old to be biting his nails.

Try to find out why he is biting his nails.......Does it happen when he is moody or unhappy? Does it happen when he is wet or needing to be changed, or does it happen when he doesn't get what he wants?

'Nail play' is a good idea.... show me your lovely nails, look at that nail, its really untidy, see how shiney your nails are, lets look for the little moon etc. etc etc.
show him how to do his nails properly, clip them, or pretend too at first, if not use a stop biting treatment from chemist, the type u paint on xx
