just put on lose trousers, jeans and other pants like stuff. Most of your time will go in holding them. You won't have the time to eat nails.......lolNail eating problem...?
Usually is a way a child shows that he is nervous, embarrassed or shy. That's a way to calm themselves down. Others instead of eating their nails, they suck their thumbs. Is normal but it doesn't go away by itself you need to find a way to grow out of it.
theres stuff you can get in a pharmacy to put on your nails and make it taste disgusting so you wont put them in your mouth.
Do you wear nail polish? Maybe if you had nail polish on your nails then you wouldn't want to bite them as much?





Every time your about to bite your nails,just say STOP, and distract yourself with something else. Maybe carry around a chain or silly putty.. yo yo lol I don't know, just something to distract your hands.





A lot of elementary students start biting their nails, they could be bored or nervous? Are you stressed about anything, get nervous before anything specific? Try to make a mental note of when you start to bite your nails.





Or umm always wear gloves.. :D
