[blparent] Questions on how to clip finger/toe nails

[peggy]

    Until my kids are old enough to cut their own, I bit them off, gross, 
maybe but it works and I for one am not going to use clippers and cut too 
short b/c I know how bad that can hurt!!  Otherwise find someone to cut them 
... I don't think once in a while asking for help with something your not 
comfortable with makes us bad parents ... I have three kids and I've never, 
ever used the clippers on them, it's just something I don't feel comfortable 
with and something I can handle by biting their nails or by asking someone 
to cut them for me.  Helpless I am not but somethings I don't mind asking 
for help on and this is one of them.

Hi, my son is 4, and up to now, my friend use to clip his finger/toe nails.
my friend use to clip his nails.
Now, my friend is working long days 7 days a week, I have to clip them.
I'm afraid of clipping them too low, or enhurting him.
I tried filing his nails, but he hates the texture of the filer, so we
don't do that anymore.

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment
that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach
them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of
France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to
each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are
unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another
child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you
move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You
have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow
up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work,
we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children." ~ Pablo
Picasso I always personally reference how Jesus treated his disciples -
a group of unruly, uneducated, fishermen. He never yelled, hit, punched,
belittled...yet they came to know and love the Lord with their entire
beings - all through his gentle, firm, loving teachings. That is how I
want to parent my children."
