Nail Problems Children's nails are thinner and softer than those of adults, and when cutting them, they tend to break in unexpected directions, resulting in deep nails, or are easily broken by external force. Most nail problems are caused by incorrect cutting （ "deep nails" that are cut too short, "bias cuts" ） that cut deeply at an angle at the end, or by peeling the nails off by themselves. Deep nails on the hands as well as the feet are characterized by a tendency to curl when those nails grow out.

The ideal shape is a "square-off cut"
A square-off cut has slightly rounded corners. It can be made by cutting straight from one end to the other with nail clippers, then cutting only the corners at both ends so that only the corners at both ends are slightly dropped. The shape when finished cutting should be cut while imagining a rectangle with rounded corners. This shape is recommended in the United States and Japan.

0 How to cut nails
When cutting nails, be careful of the thin skin between the nail and the finger, and cut only the nail by pushing down on the skin at the fingertip.
1 ． Take a position where the fingertips are visible from the front
2 ． Clear the boundary between the nail and the skin （ Carefully remove dead skin cells and dirt that have accumulated around the nail with a damp cotton swab ）
3 Support and stabilize the surface of the nail with the hand that is not holding the nail clipper
4 ． Make a straight horizontal cut from end to end, making sure the nail clipper teeth do not pinch the skin （ For feet, be especially conscious of this "straight cut". ）
5 ． Shape both edges by cutting off the corners only a little at a time （ Cutting both edges too much may cause ingrown toenails ）
6 ． File repeatedly in the same direction to smooth

Toenails grow at a slower rate than fingernails, although the speed of nail growth varies from person to person. There are also seasonal differences, being fastest in summer and slowest in winter. Nails that are too long can cause pain and deformity due to pressure from shoes and other factors, and can also cause new problems such as damaging the skin when scratched, so try to keep them at the proper length.
