Motivated

After trying various remedies to get Imogen to stop biting her nails, I gave up. They're her fingers.

But then, on a whim, I said, "If you let all of your nails grow out, I'll give you five dollars." One thing Imogen is fairly motivated by, is money. Her nails are almost all grown out, except for one pinky nail that kept getting chewed on. I'm making her grow out all ten, because I figure... I'm paying for it, so I get to make the rules. Besides, the longer she resisting chewing, the more likely the habit will be broken. And if I can break her of chewing her nails till they bleed, it's five dollars well spent.
