He/she is probably doing it because they are anxious or nervous. Check out this article for tips - https://sg.theasianparent.com/trick-your-child-to-stop-nail-biting.

You need to check does his nails are bigger, if yes pls cut it regularly. Also nail biting is also a way to thinking so pls check what the kid always thinks.

I would put anti nail bite or ask him focus his nervousness into something else But it may be a deeper problem Is he worried about something

each time u point out to him that he's biting nails, it will encourage him to do so more. he will grow out of it. don't worry excessively.

I get an ointment (nail bitting ointment from brand Manicure) I applied on the nails that he applied on. He stopped biting after 2 weeks

Tell him there is more bacteria under his nails than a toilet bowl. Hopefully put him off for life - that's what my mum did to me!

Approach him nicely. Check the fingers possible yan mag deform because of the continuous biting.
