how to stop chewing fingers?

[EleanorReally]

i have read try chewing gum, try doodling
this is for my dd - i got her hand cream.

DD does this, the only thing that works is making her wear gloves. Not in this weather though!

She is 20 if that makes any difference

I do this a lot and I do find chewing gum helps. I find that I do it when I am concentrating, especially when driving or working on the computer, so I always have a big tub of chewing gum in the car and a drink or something when I am working.

You do have to make a conscious effort to catch yourself doing it. I would be very absent minded.
