A member asked:
How can you stop a child from biting his or her nails?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can't: The more you try to stop it, the more he/she does it. This habit is often associated with other symptoms that indicate a hyperactive nervous system, most commonly activated through the ingestion of sugar in all its forms, including "diet" drinks.
