put on nail polish, ask someone to hit you every time they see you biting your nails, remind yourself that you don't want to be an old lady siting there biting her nails, when your not using your hands put them into a fist or sit on them, reward yourself when you stop, punish yourself when you bit (e.g. go to bed early, give sister money, do extra chores...), talk or sing as much as possible, do activities that don't require you to be sitting, hold something in your hands
Switch to hair...
or put hot sause on your fingernails everday.
Scrape some soap under your nails. That should help.
Dip the tips of your fingers in some liquid that you hate the taste of...hot sauce, vinegar, etc when you are at home. When you are away from home, wear gloves for awhile. It takes time to break a bad habit so give yourself time to acquire the subconsious message NOT to bite them.
just determine....
u r bad habit of chewingfingernails . u break this u control for u r habit or sujection for also doctor
They make some bad tasting nail polish for dogs to make them quit biting their nails too. It would probably work for humans. Go to the pet store and ask about a product for your dog's nail biting problem. They don't have to know it's for you :-)
We used it for one of our kid's thumb-sucking habit with great success! (Just joking. Don't call D.F.C.S. on me :-)
