Daniel is nearly 2 1/2 and to cut his nails is a nightmare,i have to pin his leg under my arm as i fight for at least 10-20mins to cut his nails but his nails are really bad,there starting to curl under and cut in to his skin,so i only did it last week and i needed to cut one nail this morning cos it was curling under again and about to cut in to his skin,does anyone have any helpfull hints on what to do $:\$ ( i dont want him to end up in hospital cos hes got a infection or they have to do something drastic to him

My eldest is nearly 3 and until recently it's been a nightmare doing her nails. If she had an afternoon nap and was absolutely zonked she didn't stir at all so I used to do them then. She still hates having them done but is now getting used to it, sometimes dare I say I bribe her with a biscuit or something! Have you tried while he's asleep or is he a really light sleeper?

Maybe give it a go in the bath?

What about in front of a fav telly programme?

And Donk it's not bribery it's an incentive
