Our 2yo DD is absolutely terrified of having her finger- or toenails cut and I don't know what to do.
She used to be fine, but for the past 6-8 weeks has gone wild whenever we've even spoken about nail cutting.
If I try to actually cut/clip her nails she shouts, screams and kicks.
I'm torn because although I don't want this to become a big issue, I also don't want to force her to have her nails cut when she is so upset.
I am sure that she hasn't been cut when clipping her nails in the past; have done stuff like get someone else (grandparents who she loooooves) to do it or talk about doing it to a doll.
Any ideas? It's horrible seeing her so upst but she s having a reat great time at home
