Ok, I am at my wits end here.  I have 12 yo boy/girl twins and my son has always had the habit of eating his boogers.  I have tried everything I can think of to get him out of the habit and nothing has worked!  I tried ignoring it, explaining it to him, getting angry, being understanding, and anything else I can think of and he still does it!  I hadn't seen him do it for a while until tonight when we were watching a movie and I looked over to see him at it.  Someone PLEASE give me advice on this!  He knows it hurts him socially and has been teased about it in school and acknowledges the need to stop, but he still can't seem to do it!

He also chews his nails and bites his toenails, but those are other habits to work on.
