Help Your Child Break the Nail Biting Habit
This cute little book, ” ,” was written by a clinical child psychologist – Dawn Huebner, Ph.D., is one of a series of ’self-help’ books for children. This particular illustrated book was written to help kids between the ages of 6 and 12 conquer the bad habit of nail biting, along with other hard to break tendencies such as thumb sucking, hair twirling and scab picking (yuck).
It tackles the possible causes of the habit and helps readers focus on different strategies to try and block the habit. This is a helpful book, written at a level that children can understand – not like an adult talking down to a child. Some other books in her series include “What to do When Your Temper Flares: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Problems with Anger” and “What to Do when You Worry Too Much: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Anxiety.”
