I am typing this while DS (6) is sobbing his heart out at the idea of having his nails cut. I'm at my wits end re nail cutting - we've tried everyway to make it less traumatic for him but he hates it - he seemed to be doing ok reading while i cut them but it doesn't seem to be working now.
he really needs them cutting twice a week - its easier to do after a bath when they are soft but it does mean he can be quite tired - i've tried mornings but can't really do during the week.
does anyone have any tips? i've never actually hurt them and err on leaving them too long rather than painfully short - he gives himself nosebleeds by picking his nose with sharp nails though...
