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

[Jeri Milton]

I agree. I have done the same thing with my two kids nails as well. I don't
do it to Dylan's anymore as he's seven, but I still do Kates. I've been
biting them off since they were babies. do you know who told me to bite them
off? A sited mom who did the same thing to her kids. The problem is though,
now Dylan bites his own nails off. Actually, is that a problem or not? Hmm,
I'm not sure. We're always taught not to bite our nails right? So now, I've
taught them to go ahead and do it. Well, I will let his dad teach them how
to clip them when they're old enough. Now, there is something that I forget
to do. I forget to clean under their nails. Dylan's na.es are always dirty
as he's a boy and is always in the dirt outside. I seriously forget about
this. Usually a bath cleans Kate's, but what do you all do to clean your
children's nails?

    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."
