How to stop my 2 yr old from eating his bugers?

Question

my 2 yr old wont stop eating bugers! he puts them in his mouth and then proudly sticks out his tongue to show it off, ive tried everything. what should i do?

Answer 1

Well I can't actually answer your question because we've been trying to get my 4 year old to stop.  I can tell you not to do this though..... I told my son that there was a worm in his nose and if he stuck his finger up his nose the worm would bite his finger.....it didn't faze him....he started to do it more so he could get the worm...lol

Answer 2

spray gross tasting stuff on his fingers

Answer 3

first of are we talking about "boogers" the nasty little creatures that come out of your nose?

if so. what has worked in the past at my center. we applied the same logic as eating snack.

Wash your hands, dig up there find a few. put them on a plate ,say your blessing and enjoy.

100% success rate, have not had the problem since.

Answer 4

Better not to buy burgers. Don't keep it in ur fridge. He can't buy burgers from shop. Keep some good food in fridge.

Answer 5

my 2 yr old is doing this too SOOO GROSS ! i just ask him if he wants a tissue everytime he does it seems to make him stop. i have not found a full time cure yet !!

good luck im thinking of you

Answer 6

Studies have shown that its OK for kids to eat their boogers. it actually helps them develop immunities to certain germs and bacteria that booges catch.

Answer 7

If I have learned one thing after seeing 6 of my 7 children through toddler-hood its that boogers are a mainstay in the toddler diet.

Like it or not, its the truth and I have found no acceptable substitue.

They will eventually learn that this is not an acceptable social practice and either stop, or do it in private.

Sorry
