Nail biting: Nail biting is difficult to address. Keep the nails trimmed appropriately and then address the reason for the biting. Are they having anxiety? Are they just bored? Help them find other things to distract them when the feel the urge to bite their nails. You can also cover their fingertips with bandaids to remind them not to bite.
