Nails get destroyed, so it’s imperative to instruct your youngster how to tend to them. These following tips recommended by dermatologists can help your child keep healthy nails.

1. Always trim their nails. Nails that are trimmed are always neat and do not break easily. Dermatologists suggest that a grown-up should trim a kid’s nails until the point when the kid is around 9 or 10 years of age. Kids that old can learn to trim their nails.
How to care for kid’s toenails and fingernails:
When your kids are old enough to take of their nails, you should instruct them with the following:
• Immediately after showering, they should trim their nails. Nails are milder at that point, so trimming is less demanding.
• Utilize nail scissors or nail clippers to trim nails.
• Cut fingernails straight over. Trim the corners to a cycle shape to keep the nails solid.
• Allow the cuticles to stay unbothered. Do not cut them or push them back because they protect the nails.
