Im at my wits end - my 3 and a half year old daughter has been biting/picking her nails down to the quick. Her thumb became very swollen and infected and she had to go to Docs who put her on a course of hideous tasting antibiotics for a week - getting her to take them was a complete song and dance every time. The thumb started to improve and now I have just seen that she has pulled/bitten the corner off again and it has really upset me. I thought the vile medicine would be a deterrent but obviously not. Any one got any tips or has their child done it too? My DD is a happy little soul and not nervous or anything so why does she do it? I ask her and she won't really say why. x
