Someone is unpleasant, and they are trying to fight it, but someone is not too worried about it. But still, if a child's nose-picking becomes a persistent habit, parents usually tend to wean him off.
Instructions
Step 1
The habit of nose-picking occurs not only among children, but also among adults. Some researchers (for example, in the USA) even believe that from time to time almost 90 percent of people do this, that is, almost anyone.
Step 2
Try to ignore it for a while. It is better not to scold the baby, so that some complexes do not develop. It happens that this is a temporary phenomenon that passes by itself, if you do not "dwell on" it. If the child has stopped picking his nose, you can notice and praise it.
Step 3
See if there are any objective reasons, for example, a banal runny nose or nasal congestion. It happens that the room is too dry and hot and the nasal mucosa dries up. Then it is better to ventilate the room or use a humidifier. If you deal with the cause, the effect may disappear by itself.
Step 4
Just in case, check if something is stuck in your nose: a button, a small toy or a piece, etc. In this case, you will have to see a doctor.
Step 5
See if your nails are cut short. This is necessary so that the baby does not get hurt while he has not yet got rid of the habit.
Step 6
Try to distract your child. Find some interesting and useful activity that will keep his hands busy at the same time. Do handicrafts, handicrafts, you can wash the dishes together, clean the room, etc. If you occupy your head and hands with something interesting, they usually don't remember about the nose, and vice versa - you can get any habit out of boredom.
Step 7
If all of the above doesn't work, just talk to him. Gently, without putting pressure on the psyche, explain that it is not very beautiful, and they can laugh at him.
Step 8
And finally, make sure that this is not the rare case when a child has this neurotic manifestation akin to plucking eyebrows and eyelashes, pulling out hair, etc. This is rare, but you may need the help of a specialist.
