When I'm doing my nails my daughter is always asking to have hers done..
I mean, I figure it's not necessarily bad for her in any way, I just feel like she'd look silly going out in public with painted nails at her age.. What do you think?
Answer
No, my little girl loves having her nails painted. I keep the colours neutral to nearly match the colour of her nails. If she wants it, its not going to harm her. And if your worried people will stare just remove it before going out. Or use finger paints on her nails, that way when she washes her hands it will come off.

How do you get a 3 year old to stop the bad habit of nail bitting?

Answer
there are few things you can do
Nail biting from such an Early age starts because of boredom or attention. Give him attention and special treatment when you cut his nails. Show him positive and loving attention.. as if you ignore him when he is happy and now he sees you show at him because he bite: he has you attention and that is most NB for him.
Cut his nails and make it as a treat so he will look forward to it. Buy nice cream and massage his little hands every night and love him love him love him!!
There is so many ways:
1. polish
2. bitter liquid
3. some put chillies on..
at this stage .. child will cry few times and then eventually will get used to it.. and get you attention (negative or not again)
Best is LOVE!!! That is the recipe

NAIL-BITING
Backing Off a Nervous Habit
Many children bite their nails, says Paul Kechijian, M.D., clinical associate professor of dermatology and chief of the nail section at New York University Medical Center. Usually they grow out of the habit, and nagging them about it only makes the situation worse.
What can you do if your child can't or won't keep her nails out of her mouth? First, understand why she does it.
''Nail-biting is a nervous habit that's often a symptom of anxiety or insecurity,'' says William Womack, M.D., associate professor in the Department of Child Psychiatry at the University of Washington School of Medicine and codirector of the Stress Management Clinic of Children's Hospital and Medical Center, both in Seattle. ''It's your child's way of comforting herself.''
Figure out what's eating your child, and you're halfway to getting her to stop eating her nails. Eventually, most children stop biting their nails when they start to care how their nails look--or when their friends start to notice. Meanwhile, try some of these creative solutions.
Help your child understand. Enlist your child's cooperation by helping her understand why she's biting her nails. ''Explain that sometimes people bite their nails because they worry a lot or are upset and nervous,'' says Dr. Womack. For example, ask her if she does it when relatives visit, when she's meeting new friends or when she's trying hard to learn something new. Your child may be better able to control the habit if she can talk about the stresses she's experiencing, according to Dr. Womack.
Nail down a deal. Ask your child if her nail-biting bothers her. If, and only if, your child wants to stop biting her nails, you and she can talk about a ''contract,'' suggests Dr. Womack.
For instance, would she consider not biting her nails for a dime a day? Or for a week--in exchange for a visit to an amusement park? Would she appreciate a new watch of her own for not biting her nails for a month?
Keep a chart of successful non-nail-biting days, then reward her for compliance with the ''deal,'' says Dr. Womack.
