My two year old son is always chewing on
his fingernails. He has bit them down to
where they will bleed at times. No one he
is in contact with bites their nails. He
is a very happy boy and always has been;
he doesn't act nervous while biting his
nails. Any advice?

Hi, habit...that is all it is...not
nervousness or anything like that..just a
habit.
My brother was like that at that
age..there were some things my mom did
back then, but I don't think I would do
them now..like painting some yucky tasting
stuff on them (it is made for that
purpose) so they don't chew
them..but..that never did end up working
for my brother.
What worked for him you ask??
He justs grew out of it in time.
