Ama loved reading and playing.

But she had one habit that worried her.

Ama often bit her nails.

Ama's mother noticed and said, "Biting nails is not healthy, dear."

Ama promised to try to stop.

The first day was hard.

Ama kept forgetting and biting her nails a few times.

Her mother told her to keep her hands busy by drawing or playing.

Ama drew colorful pictures whenever she felt the urge to bite her nails.

Ama also wore a small bracelet to remind her not to bite her nails.

She saw the bracelet every time she was about to bite her nails.

She told her friends about her goal.

They encouraged her and supported her in her goal.

The following weeks, Ama noticed her nails were healthier and stronger.

She felt proud of herself.

Sometimes she forgot and bit her nails, but she did not give up.

Every day, she tried a little harder.

Ama learned that stopping a habit takes takes time and needs patience.

She smiled knowing she could overcome challenges.

Now, Ama enjoys drawing, reading, and playing without biting her nails.

She whispers, "I can do anything if I try real hard!"
