The Things They Do

Child habits can somewhat be downright annoying. There are several habits that bother the parents and cause them to worry. Yes I'm speaking from experience, as a BIG sister *not literally big, mind you* to three younger siblings. I saw my mom had been worrying over her children's habits and it actually took a long time to lose those habits naturally. The most common ones would be ;

• Nail picking
• Thumb sucking
• Hair twirling, and
• Nose picking

But this is nothing to worry about, as it is just a common phenomenal in their developmental process.

NAIL BITING

Some studies estimate that around 30% to 60% of kids and teens actually chew on one or more fingernails. And a child may also bite his or her toenails occasionally. In the beginning, boys and girls are equally prone to bite their fingers but as they grow up, boys are more likely to be nail biters

 Watch how I do it

THUMB SUCKING

The popularity of the thumb as compared to the other digits appears to be an accidental choice, mostly resulting from the thumb coming into contact with the mouth during random movements made at the stage of infancy. And many believe that it is because the thumb is more flavorful. Come to think of it again, wouldn't it be weird if children suck lets say, the middle finger? the index finger? That would be weird, seriously.

 Good thing she actually sucks her thumb *crickets*

HAIR TWIRLING

Hair twirling most probably appear during the early childhood as a precursor to hair pulling. And this habit is the easiest one to get rid of. A simple modification will do. Majority who twist, twirl, pull and stroke their hair are girls.

 And a big girl, who might think she's cute doing the hair-twirling. 

No, I have nothing against Jennifer Aniston.

NOSE PICKING

Although nose picking usually begins in childhood, it may actually linger into adulthood. A 1995 study of adults found that 91% picked their noses regularly, and about 8% are reported to eat what they picked. Okay, that's just gross.

How can picking nose be this cute?

It's okay Jake,we still love you.
