Is it possible to treat nail biting in children?
✅The condition of biting the nail and its surroundings is called onychophagia. This habit is more associated with psychological conditions and is observed during times of stress, anxiety or severe depression. The reason for this can be determined by in-depth observation.
🔶If a child starts biting his nails before going out in front of many people, the reason for this may be a little fear of people. This situation is also observed due to a decrease in attention due to the arrival of a new baby in the family.
🔶Children do this mostly automatically, without being aware of their behavior. Children cannot be reprimanded from this habit. To eliminate this habit, hands should be occupied with toys. The most useful thing is parental love and attention
