Nail Biting And Other Bad Habits
From Raising Children, © 1994 by Billy E. Pennal, Ph.D.
Once upon a time there was a very young girl who had a very bad habit of biting
her nails. Her little fingers ended in sometimes bloody nubs. Her parents
tried everything they could think of to get her to stop biting her nails but nothing
worked. Even the nasty stuff which is painted on nails to make them taste
bad had no effect other than to hurt her little fingers.............

 Is treatment effective?
Many recent scientific studies have shown that treatment for nail biting
and thumb sucking orofacial myofunctional disorders can be 80 to 90% effective
in correcting harmful oral habits.
These corrections are retained
for years after completing therapy (Hahn & Hahn, 1992) More research links
It must be noted that successful completion of our program is dependent
upon patient desire, consistency of application, a positive attitude and self
discipline.
We give you the tools to help instill these attributes; our multi step Gold Star
Program is included with every treatment plan.
Control-It! and our highly motivated Gold Star Program for children and
adults has changed the way this habit is seen and treated with a whole new perspective,
you are in control and it's easy
The sophisticated Gold
Star Program is a radical departure from the old methods of nagging or painting
nasty chemicals onto the nails. Rather, Control-It! is an all natural cream that
uses a soothing, two pronged approach to the habit. The unique blend of all
natural ingredients that provides a bitter taste to the nails more importantly delivers vitamins and nutrients to the nails and cuticles, ensuring rapid healing
of hangnails that are often a trigger to bite.
The real innovation
is the Gold Star Goals and Rewards program that encourages parents and adults
to use simple, practical hands on methods, expanding parenting skills that will be used throughout life. We unleash your creativity,
make it fun to learn by doing, and expand the self-mastery of inner growth,
self expression and confidence. "Adult nail biters are just kids who never
stopped."
Control-It! Anti-Nail biting cream is so advanced it's
actually simple. Available at select drug and beauty chains nationwide.
Only
the dedication and cooperation of the patient can change these harmful
oral habits.
Control-It! is Hypoallergenic and clinically proven to
be safe and effective. Truly dramatic results in just days, but, effective treatment
must continue for a minimum of 21 -30 days of commitment to achieve both
restored cuticles and nails, and effective elimination/replacement of the "habit". |
** NOTE: The IAOM does not endorse ANY PRODUCTS; however, many members do recommend Control-It!
to their patients. Come see us at the Conference! |
