A. It’s quite common for young children like your 5-year-old son to bite their nails, but if he’s also picking or digging at his legs, it may be a sign of anxiety, boredom, or sensory-seeking behavior. First, try to observe when he does it—is it during stress, while watching TV, or before sleeping? Encourage him gently to stop by distracting him with toys, puzzles, or activities that keep his hands busy. You can also try applying a safe, bitter-tasting nail solution (available at pharmacies) to discourage nail-biting. Make sure his nails are trimmed regularly and talk to him calmly about the habit without scolding. If the leg-digging leads to wounds or seems compulsive, consult a child psychologist or pediatrician—they can rule out emotional triggers or sensory issues and suggest therapy or play-based solutions if needed.
