Question
The child has been cared for by a single person from a young age and the habit of biting nails was not corrected in time. Now in the fourth grade, aged 11, the child still continues to bite their fingernails, and the teacher has reported this issue. How can one help the child break this habit?
Answer
According to the description, repeatedly biting fingernails for a long time may be related to a lack of trace elements or habits. It is recommended to first conduct a trace element test on the child to confirm if there are any abnormalities. Daily attention should be paid to correcting behavior and a balanced diet should be maintained to improve nutritional status.
