Book excerpt: Nibbling Your Nails is a sunny, imaginative story that will make the little ones understand, in a fun way, the importance of developing good habits. Sara is an expert in nail-biting. She practices many times during the day: when she waters the plants, when she looks at the stars with her giant telescope, even when she’s in math class! Sometimes she puts so much effort into it that she bites her finger! However, no matter how much she hurts herself, Sara does not stop biting her nails. But she does it unwittingly! Sarah’s teeth and stomach don’t seem to like that habit. They would be much happier eating real food, like apples or peppers... at least they don’t scratch! One afternoon Grandma comes home with a great idea... She always arrives with a big laugh on her face, games, and endless conversations, but this time she brings her an unexpected gift. A gift that will make Sara use the clippers once and for all!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dan had been biting his nails for as long as he could remember. It began at night time with his mother saying goodnight to him and turning off the light; he felt alone in his big, darkroom.As he grew older and he felt a little nervous or agitated, like at the beginning of the school year, his nails would always make their way into his mouth. In the beginning, Dan's thumbnail was his favorite to chew. However, once he was finished chewing that nail and there was nothing left of it, he would move onto the rest of his fingernails. Slowly but surely, he would bite another fingernail, or even two. By the time he was 10-years old, every single fingernail of his had been completely bitten off. One day Dan realized that his habit was a vicious circle that he was not able to break. He did not want to bite his nails, yet it provided him with comfort and soothed him. Feeling disappointed and discouraged with himself, he turned to his mother for help....""...Dan's mother knew that the first step to helping Dan break his habit was for him to really want it himself. "First, in order for you to stop biting your fingernails, you have to really, really want to break the habit, and then we can start to build a plan. When you really, truly want to, let me know!" she told Dan, walking away. Dan said, "I have made up my mind. I want to get rid of this bad habit of mine. I want to. I really want to!" And so together, Dan and his mother decided on a special plan to help Dan break his nail-biting habit. Dan's mother suggested, "We will divide the next two weeks into a plan of action, just as if you were training for a running competition. The first step is for you to define what your goal is and write it down.""Ok, well my goal is simple. I want to stop biting my fingernails," Dan explained to his mother, and she grinned. Seeing her grin, Dan added, "Ok, well maybe it's not so simple, but I can do it... but I can do it."The story leads the readers to Dan's world, where he is dealing with a nail-biting habit. The story gives the children and the parents an operative way to get rid of the nail-biting habit.

Download or read book Stop Your Nailbiting Permanently written by Gilbreth Brown and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004-04-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the definitive cure for adult problem nail biting. The information and the technique supplied in this book offer effective, well-documented, and permanent relief from this frustrating habit. By reading this book, habitual nail biters can finally and permanently free themselves from the habit. It is the goal of this book to spread the message that life can be free from the pain and embarrassment caused by unsightly and unattractive finger nails and hands. This book starts by carefully describing and defining the habit. There is more to this than many realize, and nail biters will benefit greatly by the information contained here. The knowledge and insight in this section form the foundation for beginning the journey to long, healthy and gorgeous nails. For example, many habit owners do not realize that nail biting is actually a two step habit. Both steps must be recognized and treated for the habit to be completely eradicated. The habit frequently also rears up unconsciously, and so the book also provides an effective tool for recognizing and altering unconscious behavior. Many questions are answered here and misconceptions about nail biting are discussed in detail and debunked. After carefully defining the habit, the book then delves into why habitual nail biters pursue their habit. Incidentally, stress is rarely the cause of problem nail biting. Nail biting patterns that are frequently seen are then also discussed in detail. Reading about themselves in print will reassure nail biters that they are not alone in the world. Incidentally, research data indicates that the habit is wide spread across nationalities, age groups, and demographics. All of this information results in a powerful understanding of the habit. Many readers state that this understanding alone helps them to significantly reduce or even eliminate their nail biting problem. However, sometimes information alone is not enough. So then, contained in the book is an ingenious and almost perfect cure to the habit. Described in the book is a simple to perform but highly effective technique for stopping nail biting. Many people who have tried the approach mention that they simply cannot believe how effective the cure is at permanently and efficiently treating their nail biting. Internalizing the information in the book and applying the technique described results in a very powerful therapeutic combination. Even long term habitual nail biters need just several weeks to completely and permanently break their habit. Some readers have even reported success just after several days. Once cured, the habit rarely resurfaces. Curing the habit increases self confidence and self esteem considerably. After detailing the cure, the book provides documented and real case stories of notable successes with the treatment method. Case histories, pictures and testimonials are posted frequently on the book's accompanying web site http://www.stopyournailbiting.com. Readers are invited to browse there at will and watch the anonymous and free forum discussion board to learn more. To complete the loop, the book details why other methods of nail biting habit control are not as effective or easy as the cure discussed. Many nail biters have tried various approaches to curing the habit. Such attempts often end in disappointment and frustration. The use of spicy creams and foul tasting lotions as a treatment option is addressed. Readers will learn that bad tasting lotions are not effective for nail pickers for obvious reasons. Finally, the book discusses children, and provides tips and tricks for working with children nail biters. The cure's application to other similar ailments (cheek biting, hair pulling, and joint cracking) is discussed and readers are welcome to post tips onto the free web site forum for the benefit and well being of others.

Download or read book How to Stop Biting Your Nails written by David Byram and published by . This book was released on 2013-09-29 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To Stop Your Nail Biting Permanently If you want to learn how to stop biting your nails permanently I can show you how. You see, I was once in your shoes. I bit my nails for well over 16 years and tried to quit on numerous occasions without success. I tried horrible tasting lotions and a good few dodgy remedies, but nothing worked for more than a couple of weeks. I was desperate to rid myself of this horrible habit as it was impacting badly on my self esteem and the perception people had of me. It felt like an unbreakable cycle and the worst thing was that I didn't even know why I was biting my nails. It just seemed like an unconscious reaction that took over when I was stressed or bored. One day at University I had a particularly bad experience; a girl that I really liked caught me spitting out a nail from my mouth. Although she tried to hide it, I could see the look of disgust on her face. Ouch, that hurt my self esteem and it turned out to be a turning point in my life. I started to research every avenue open to me to get this monkey off my back forever. My research took me from scientific and medical papers through to nail biting forums and responses from sufferers. This journey of discovery was extremely valuable as it unearthed many proven nail biting treatments that were not commonly known in the public domain, but just as importantly it enabled me to understand what causes people to bite their nails. I think it was the great Chinese military leader Sun Tzu who said "Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster". Well, after all my research, I now knew my 'enemy' very well and I began to understand myself a lot better too, so I was ready to do battle. I won't say it was easy, but I have now been free from biting my nails for five years and I am confident you can do the same if you follow my simple formula. Here's what included in my book: The Common Causes of Nail Biting This is so important because it will help you work out where the origins of your habit might lie, which will let you know where to look for its solution. Great Reasons For Quitting You thought that nail biting was relatively harmless didn't you? You won't say that after reading how it can really screw you up your physical and psychological well being. This can be a great additional motivator to help you quit. How To Kick Your Nail Biting Habit This is where I reveal the little known, but powerful secrets for quitting your nail biting habit for good. The really great thing about my book which differentiates it from other products, is that I give you not one, but six possible proven strategies to use. Why have I done this? Well, whatever anybody may tell you, there isn't one magical solution that will cure everybody. There are as many causes for nail biting as there are nail biters, so we provide an armoury of remedies to suit your individual circumstances. With the right determination and mind set, I am confident that one or a combination of these habit breaking tools will give you the perfect nail outcome you are longing for. Staying On Track The temptation to bite your nails never completely goes away, but this section will help you maintain your willpower for the longer term. It also has plenty of tips for making the most of your newfound nail freedom! About The Author David Byram works in the publishing industry as an Assistant Editor. His interests include reading, fusion cooking, listening to an eclectic range of music and taking his disobedient (but adorable) husky for long walks. With a little luck, he might even tie the knot with his fiance Emma in 2014. David is passionate about helping others to finally stop their nail biting problem. If you suffer from this frustrating habit, then this book is for you.
