Why do babies always chew their nails? The real reason is not vitamin deficiency, there are other incentives out of control
We can always find such a type of baby around us, who always has trouble with his nails, keeps "working" on the nails with his mouth, gnaws the nails clean, and never needs nail clippers.
Many parents think that babies gnaw their nails because they lack vitamins in their bodies, so they gnaw their nails, but according to science, it is not a disease for babies to gnaw their nails, it is just a bad habit. Vitamin deficiency is not directly related.
Why do babies always chew their nails? The real reason is not vitamin deficiency, there are other incentives out of control
A friend who was a teacher in elementary school discovered this problem before. When she was in class, she paid attention to observing the students in the class. As soon as the teacher asked questions, some students in their class began to bite their nails. Action, this action will continue until the teacher's question is over, until the teacher says "Okay, today's question is here", after this voice is over, look at the students in the class, the nail biting situation will gradually reduction.
So nail biting has nothing to do with lack of vitamins . It is impossible that most of the students in the class lack vitamins. My friend said that the reason why some students gnaw their nails is a psychological effect. They are afraid that the teacher will ask her questions. What if she can’t answer? manage? What if the answer is wrong and the classmates laugh at it? A series of psychological pressure caused the child to have no place to release, so when he was nervous, he began to gnaw his nails.
Nail biting by children is definitely not something that happens overnight. This is a bad habit developed since childhood. Because parents did not pay attention to their children in time and did not correct them in time, nail biting will always accompany children.
When the baby appears to gnaw his nails, the following methods can help the baby get rid of the bad habit of gnawing his nails
1: Don't always deny the baby
We all know that gnawing nails is not a disease, but a psychological problem. Many babies gnaw nails in life because parents are always nagging around the baby, and the nagging words are all negative of the baby, which causes the baby to start talking as soon as they hear what the parents say. Nervous, parents can't observe the baby's emotional changes in time, and the tension can't be released , so they use nail biting to relieve it.
2: Don’t reinforce your baby’s behavior
When the mother finds that the baby has the behavior of gnawing nails, the first thing parents have to do is to accept and accept the baby's behavior of gnawing nails. Although they know that gnawing nails is not good for the baby, parents should not be particularly obvious.
Then in life must not strengthen the baby's behavior ,
For example: When the baby is biting the nails, the mother must not use such language, "Why are you biting the nails again, don't you know that biting the nails is not good?" Seal it" This kind of language will only aggravate the baby's behavior, instead of reducing it, it will become more and more serious.
3: It can divert the baby's attention
In daily life, it is found that babies often gnaw their nails. Some mothers choose to paint chili oil or mustard on their baby's nails in order to prevent their babies from gnawing their nails.
Parents can use the method of diverting attention . When they find that the baby is biting their nails, the parents can choose the things that the baby is more interested in and guide the children to do them. The child forgets about biting his nails.
In addition, the more children denied by parents, the less confident the children are. Children who lack self-confidence are not only nervous when they hear their parents, but also when they come to an unfamiliar environment and meet unfamiliar people, they will make them nervous and afraid, so gnawing nails is a big problem. It's a habit.
If you want your baby to get rid of the bad habit of biting nails, you need to start with the parents themselves. Usually, parents should accompany the baby to give the baby enough sense of security, help the baby to strengthen his heart, and let the baby have the ability to solve problems. When encountering problems and stress, the baby can cope with it freely, and will not be nervous or anxious.
