Avoid Scolding in Breaking

Nail-biting Habit

By Olive Roberts Barton

Habit is a strange thing, biting the malls for instance.

Actually, biting finger nulla is not different from many other mannerisma, Nulure seemed to have it in for us by planting some unusual co-ordination between hand and face. Bables, before they are born, often suck their thumbs, we are Informed.

Is it any wondor then that after they come here to live they con- tinue to enjoy their little pink digits?

Perhaps nail-biting is just hang-over from a pre-natal gesture -who knows? But one thing is sure, it is harder to break up the hand-to-faco urge then almost any other unconsciously repeated ges- ture of the body.

EFFECT ON MUSCLES.

In time the arm muscles feel more at home in that position than any other. It does not necessarily denote nervousness, although the worried child may do it. It ac- companies deep thought, concéntra- tion and even extremo happiness as often as it does fear or strain. But even these things may be | absent and a child will bite his nails

for no reason whatever.

Emotionally there seems to be no real reason behind it at all.

A man may scratch his car, or a woman smooth back her hair; pulling at the nose, brushing the

It is not necessarlly a nervous or unhappy person who does these things, as I have said. Some of the most even people we know have a habit trick of some kind or other that lifts the hand to the head,

DON'T PUNISH OR SCOLD.

Another thing that blocks us là this. We have learned that any habit, either physical or mental, is more deeply set by scolding shaming the child.

What then is to be done? It seems to leave us entirely disarmed, doesn't it? Nothing real to get at

remove, and no scolding or punishment. Not even tying tho hands is recommended because con- striction damages the temper mere surely than it can ever be repaired.

Yet there are three things that, patiently pursued, may do wonders. One is to appeal to the child's pride. The next is to keep his hands so |busy-and his arms, too-that the face-urge won't present itself, and to see that he is tired enough at bedtime to go right to sleep. The third is important to get him a nal brush and a simple manicure set. If you can afford it, have his nails manicured once in two weeks so there will be no rough places to bite off.

Nail biters are hand unconscious. To make them hand conscious is to win the battle.
