Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would ask this student if they would like to bring their lunch in my classroom. I would ask the student if there is something bothering them that I may be able to help with, or even just be someone to listen to what they need to say. There is a problem that may have recently popped up or may have always been there. I would ask the student if they would like to talk to the school councelor about the topic as well. I would also tell the student that when I see them chewing on their nails that I will put my finger on her/his desk as a reminder to that student that they are chewing. I may also talk to the student about germs and that it is an unatractive habbit that we can tip in the bud now at a young age.
