Biting Nails. Stop Biting those Nails! - Continued

Instead of putting your fingers in your mouth, reach for a lollipop when you want to occupy your mouth. There are many reasons why we find that we want to bite our nails, but a lollipop is going to help you put a stop to putting your nails in your mouth, as your mouth is already occupied and busy when you need it to be most.

Cut your nails short, and keep them short. This leaves you little to chew on. The less you have available the less you will want to put your nails in your mouth to bite on them. 

Use fake nails. Fake nails are longer than your normal nails would be. You can’t bite or chew on fake nails just because they are so hard. Prevent your biting your nails by using fake nails that will keep you from wanting or enjoying biting your nails any longer. 

Keep a rubber band handy so when you find the urge to bite your nails you can play with your rubber band and occupy your hands. Occupying your hands with a rubber band, a rubber ball or something similar is going to help you stop biting your nails as often so you can cut back and stop biting your nails for good.
