Question

Ok so my niece is 4 years old and my husband caught her trying to bite my 4 month old nails off. Apparently she has been doing this for a while because she has a 8 month old sister and I found out today she was doing it to her too. I told her mom and dad (my brother) about it and he just rolled his eyes. I feel I shouldn’t have to punish her, But I mean that’s my son and she’s only a child..How would you handle this??

Answer

Does her parents do this to her or the other sibling? I wouldnt say this warrants a punishment.  just keep an eye on them together and correct the behavior.

Answer

If your son wasn't hurt I'd just leave it alone. Both my SILs bite their babies nails off instead of using clippers...I find it weird, but whatever lol If it really really bothers you, I'd wait until the next time she's around your son and just say something to her like "oh no sweetie, I'll clip his nails please don't bite them" 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Maybe explain to her that putting other people’s hands in your mouth could spread germs & cause her or the baby to get sick. I think her parents would respond better to that approach, rather than just flat out saying don’t do it. Also, half the time if you tell a kid no without reason they won’t listen anyway

Answer

I would tell her its not okay. When someones kid does something to my kids that I dont like I shut it down regardless of how it makes the other parents feel.
