Fingernail Cutting Battles with Baby and 4 year old

Posted by Amanda | On: Aug 21 2005


That face isnt so cute during fingernail/toenail clipping time!

My two boys act like they are terrified of the fingernail clippers. My 4 year old literally takes “fits” when I go near him and tell him it is time to clip his nails! I finally have to bribe him into cutting them or else he would let them get so long he’d look like a wicked witch! The baby just squirms while I cut his and he is still young enough to where I can kind of hold him still while I clip them. It’s a struggle every time it is nail clipping time in our house.

Why are they so terrified? Since when does nail clipping hurt?
