HELP!! I have a serial nose picker!!

Ds is 4.

He has picked his nose to the point that it has been bleeding, all around the nostrils is red peeled skin & dried in blood

I will hold my hands up & admit that I mosre than likely contributed to it.... I hate dirty noses. I always make sure dd & ds have tissues with them where ever they're going.

Ds doesn't seem to like the 'feel' of gubk up his nose.

He's gong to bed tonight with sodacream rubbed around his nose to try & heal it...

Before bed I kissed him night & there was a finger mark in the soda cream... I asked if he was picking his nose & he said no, he had just moved some of the cream out of the way, just so his finger would have room, if it
needed to go up his nose in the night time...............

Any helpful suggestions ladies, or anyone with similar experience?

Some one suggested that i told my serial picker that everytime he picked his nose that his was picking out his brains and if he kept going he wouldn't have any brains left

won't work for my buding scientist (also aged 4) would it work for your ds?

I doubt it... like most men his brains are in his willy.

Is it just my son that washes only his privates in the shower?

Anyway, back to the nose thing... I told him if it was all red they wouldn't let him fly next week (we're going on holidays) but then his 7 yr old sister said "Huh, Rudolph has a red nose & they let him fly!" which blew that right out of the water!

I know it's not as serious as some problems I could be having, but it looks awfully sore
