probably means he fancies you, boys do stupid things when they're young.

I think you need to focus on his reasons behind the fingernail biting. These habits usually have underlying causes. Maybe he just needs lots of extra hugs and love from you. Some boost for his self confidence. It can do wonders. Have him help you more around the house. Keep him occupied with "jobS" he can feel good about accomplishing. Laundrey, dishes, cleanuing the shower or other household things with a rag., have him wash the walls etc... He will be SO PROUD and tell him you are too. I bet the fingernail biting will dissapear with a little extra love and attention!\n\nI really discourage you from putting substances on his hands. At 2 they do not have the ability to understand what yoiu are doing to them and are building trust. I think this hurts this.\nGood Luck!!\n\nI wrote the following for another post about an 8 year old sucking fingers.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar_1QOdonvEolBG8Z0b1YNfsy6IX?qid=1006021005280\n\nIt may be agonizing to watch but you know what they probably wont go to college doing it. The more attention you give it the more she will do it. When she gets good and tired of it or truely embarrassed when friend start commenting on it she will stop. I bet she doesnt do it at school. I bet it is an attention seeking thing for you. I guarantee she will stop on her own when she is ready.\n\nAnd if she didnt? Arent there worse things in life. Focus on her good qualities and building her self esteem. Making her think something is wrong with her for doing it will only make matters worse. Build her self esteem and it will probably disapear on its own. Nagging will only exacerbate the issue.\n\nPick your battles. Let it go. Focus on what is really important. The foundation of the problem not the surface.\n\n\nhttp://www.childdevelopmentinfo.com/pare...\nhttp://www.positivediscipline.com/parent...\nhttp://www.naturalchild.com/guest/pam_le...\n\nSome Maxims About Childhood Behavior\n\nChildren aren’t adults, so don’t expect them to behave as though they were. \nChildren learn by doing, so don’t expect to approve of everything they do. \nIt is a rare child whose behavior equals his parents’ expectations. \nChildren are more likely to do as you do than to do as you say. \nIt is often less important for parents to control their children’s behavior than it is for them to control their own. \nChildren react to anger; they respond to love and affection. \nA secure and loving home environment and emotional stability within the family appear to be the major elements in overcoming some of the specific behaviors that concern or displease parents. These include thumb-sucking, nail-biting, nose picking, rocking and head banging, bedwetting and erratic sleep habits. You can deal successfully with these problems if you refrain from making an issue of them, pay close attention to the emotional needs of your child, make sure that he knows you love him, whatever he does, and exert yourself to make him feel secure. If you develop that kind of warm relationship with him, you’ll do more than eliminate annoying habits. You’ll be rewarded with a happy, confident, and emotionally stable child!\n\n\nTo me putting a substance on your childs hands will not creat security and love. Thats probably why it rarely works.

Talk to your parents, if he is really a bother they should do something about it.  If he's younger than you and just a "normal little brother" kind of annoying, try spending some time with him when you are free.  Play a game, take him somewhere fun.  Then maybe he'll respect you when you tell him to leave you alone.  If he's older than you and just won't leave you alone, try embarrassing him when his friends are around.  He'll learn to leave you alone.

At all times keep a third person involved and informed. Keep a running record, like a diary, of time, place, what happened and show Principal each day if you must. Stay safe. Never speak to the creepy guy directly or alone. Do not make eye contact. If Principal does not keep you safe or listen to you, tell your parents or a school counselor or a favorite teacher. They should tell him privately that looks, words, contact is, starting now, illegal and a rule breaker where he is concerned. Do not be bullied and do not, under any circumstances talk to or look at this person. Do not send double messages  like "stay away" but then smiling at him because you feel sorry for him or because you have felt safe for a minute. Send only one message to him via your actions and that is, stay away, you do not exist, I will tell on you everytime, if you can't take "no" for an answer it is because you are not thinking about me but only thinking about yourself and you are glaring at me because I said "no" to you and you think everyone should say yes to you. Normal people can take no for an answer and normal people report abuse every time. Normal people say "no"..."no, leave me alone" etc. Keep being real, keep telling, keep listening to yourself. Tell everyone. They will observe too that he has creepy behavior. Again, never speak to this person. It would be a double message, a mixed message of leave me alone and yet I still talk to you. No. Do not speak to him ever. He will take that little courtesy and think that you like him or that he can control you. Keep being yourself. You know what to do. Tell and stay away from him. Do not be polite. he will use your politeness against you. Do not be flattered by his attention. Something is wrong with him. Stay away.

Sweetheart, you sound too young to have boy trouble.  Go back to playing with your skipping rope. Wait a couple of years and try again.

You could try, "fighting fire, with fire", by doing the same things to him in a very annoying way to let him see what it's like. What you're doing is NOT working, so give it a try. What do you have to lose? Every time he comes around, grab at his crotch...not in a sexy way, but in an aggressive way. He'll get the message!

Break it to her gently, when you're in private. Tell her that the reason YOU think she's being picked on is because she calls everyone Goo-goo, and that if she stops they will too. When people make fun of her in front of you, say something like "Well she may call ppl Googoo, but at least she's not so desperate for attention that she makes fun of others," or "It's not my fault I like to hang out with people who are ____ (your favorite thing about her), unlike you!" Don't just let them put you and your friend down! If they keep it up, just ignore them completely. They'll stop if there's not reaction from you. Good luck!

let him catch you in the process of looking/turning away from him. avoid that eye contact by just a split second. he'll get the idea then search for that eye contact soon enough.\n\nif he's under 14 though he may not understand what's going on. such is the mind of a middle-schooler.

Either hit him back . . . or use the great equalizer . . . \n\nI have you scratching your heads. . . don't I.\n\nLet me explain . . . my dad had two bigger brothers that picked on him . . . and beat him up.  One day his mother said . . . "Stop it or one day . . . he will pick up a great equalizer . . . and put it to use."\n\nOf course . . . you know kids . . . they don't listen.  One day . . . . my dad's brothers were yelling "Help, help . . . he's going to kill us."  My dad's mom walked outside . . . and saw my dad chasing his two brothers swinging a 2x4 . . . and she yelled out "Told you so"  walked back into the house laughing.  They never picked on him again.\n\n- - \n\nYour brother may be younger . . . but you may not have the physical strength . . . to teach him this lesson . . . if you need to . . . pick-up an equalizer . . . and print this out and give it to your parents . . . they may punish you . . . or after reading this . . . they will probably laugh their A** off.

Nobody wants to hear this but...talk to your parents...they should be able to put a stop to this before it turns dangerous and life threatening.  NO Joke!  This boy has a stalking problem and if it is not nipped in the bud you could get hurt. Talk to an adult if you can't your parents...but ask someone you know to help...a restraining order may be the right answer.....

Just be forward with him.  Tell him how you feel.  The sooner the better, because if he gets the "impression" that you are intereted in him, then he'll keep nudging at you or doing "those things" that he may think that you think are cute, but what you really think are annoying.   So, just let him know up front, cut in dry.  "I dont like you that way..."

Ignoring him only solves half the problem. You need to surround yourself with people that will uplift and encourage you.\n\nYou might also want to go with the old fashioned approach of "be kind to those who persecute you." That doesn't have to be anything taxing or elaborate, but often returning kindness for painful comments gets dumbfounded looks if nothing else.

Unfortunately, having to interact with persons that you do not like is good training for the "real world".  We all have to work, at some time, with someone that we do not want to work with.  The best way to deal with such a person is to treat them with kindness.  If he's looking at you in a threatening way, then smile, and say "How's it going, Man!" and then go on about your business.  If he insults you, then say something like "Hmmm.  I see where you're coming from!" then go on about your business.  In other words, don't feed the fire, and by being "cooperative" you will confuse him when he does not get the reaction that he expected.  On the other hand, if he is threatening you with physical harm, then do not walk away but look him dead in the eye and tell him to "lay off".  Hold your ground, and your eye contact.  Most bullies will run when confronted with determined opposition.  And do alert your teacher or principal if you feel that you are in real danger.

Tell him to keep his hands to himself! Touching can lead to other things you should not do!
