Peeling the tip of the nail may be the easiest way to trim your baby's nails. The child's fingernails are flexible, so it’s easy to remove the extra portions of them.

Otherwise, you can buy children scissors with a bending, non sharp angle. Trimming nails may become easier if two adults do the job. One of you will catch the child to prevent him from hyperactivity, wiggling and circumvent while the other trims his fingernails.

You can try to do it during breast feeding or sleeping because he will be quieter. Make sure you pay attention to the skin at the bottom of the nail so you do not hurt your child, and hold his hand while you trim his fingernails. Cut the nails around the curve of hand fingers, and cut his toenails straight. Do not trim the edges of the nail severely, because it may stick in the flesh causing inflammation.

You can also use a nail file for smoothing your child nails gently. If nails were not too long, you do not need to trim them. You can also use the nail file to shape the fingernails and remove any rough edges after trimming.

Early Childhood is one of the most fertile periods for information acquisition and mental activity due to the growth of cells, nerve fibers and the cortex which is the most developed part of the brain in this period, and which is linked to involuntary behavior and mental activity. Perhaps, the growth of this part explains the speed and ease with which a child acquires information, participation, and thinking in solving problems. This confirms the existence of a link between physical growth and cognitive growth of the child [Growth Psychology, Hamada Wahdan, page no. 149]
