Toddler picking nails

0 replies

SPR1107 · 15/01/2019 18:22

2.4 DS picks and picks and picks his nails!!! He is making his hands and feet so sore, he picks them until they need cutting off, or rips them himself. They're getting lower and lower down, and the sound is driving me insane.

I cannot get him to stop. He won't keep socks or gloves on either.

I've tried to explain to him that it's why he has sore hands and feet, try distract him but he does it at every opportunity.

Any advice?
