All, My kid is gonna be 3 next month, she since couple of months does this nail biting. Especially when she is sitting idle or thinking something she does this. Whenever me or my wife see this, we pull her hand out but again it starts after sometime. Any parent experience this and any idea how do i change this habit? Pls help

Hi Sunil! Please notice is ur child copying somebody at home/school. Or this cud be response to some tension going on in child's mind. Please talk it out to ur child n discourage her by tell her ill effects of doing so like stomach infection, unaligned teeth and spoiling nails's shape. Or she could be doing so bcos of boredom so it is advisable Please divert child's attention by giving her some work or giving something else in hand. Doing so repeatedly would help her get rid of her this habit. Scolding, punishing wud make her further tense and promoting this habit. hope this works!
