About

Nail biting is something that lots of parents worry about, and that even into adulthood many people feel compelled to do.   As children we tend to put anything and everything into our mouths, and that naturally includes our fingers. For some children this leads to a habit of sucking their thumb, whilst for others it can lead to the habit of biting their fingernails.

Given time children will often outgrow this habit, but some do not, and if it is persistent then you need to take steps to curb it (bitten nails is not attractive on anyone, and is also uncomfortable, and is actually limiting the use that people can put their hands to).

Accordingly it is something that you must deal with, regardless of your or your childs age.
