Today on her show, Nida talked about some concerning habits in children. She shared two habits of her son that worried her.
Talking about nail biting, Nida Yasir said, “My son is eleven, and he picked up this habit from his elder sister—he still bites his nails. I’ve started a new technique, though I’m not sure if it will work. I send him pictures of disgusting things and awareness reels explaining how nail-biting spreads bacteria and harms the body. After showing him these reels, I’ve at least been able to cut his nails; otherwise, he wouldn’t let me touch his fingers.”
Talking about the habit of saving money secretly, Nida said, “Once I opened my son Balaj’s drawer and found a surprising amount of money. I had always believed in not giving money directly to children, so I never gave him any. Instead, I deposited money in an envelope with his teacher for his lunch, in which his teacher used to give Balaj a certain amount for his lunch. After I saw money in his drawer, I asked his teachers. I first inquired with Balaj, but he came up with different answers which didn’t satisfy me. His teacher then told me that he was getting money from them and was saving it. My daughter Sila then explained to me that he also needs money for small things and was starving himself to save. After that, I started giving him pocket money properly. Now he has a locker and manages his 5,000 rupees for the month himself.”
