A Communication to our customers regarding Product FAQs / Parents & Children FAQs / Shipping FAQs Q) Why are the jars so small? A) Control-It! is formulated with natural ingredients and a minimum of preservatives, a 5 to 7 day supply is appropriate for this product, though the amount needed for complete recovery may be several jars over the course of 21-30 days. For this reason we offer "Multi" jar discounts, to allow consumers to purchase a "true" 21-30 days supply, this ensures a much higher rate of total success Q) How often must I apply it? A) The product should be applied after hand washing or bathing, light hand washing will not remove all effects, however, reapply to ensure long lasting protection Q) Why are there two kinds of Control-It!? A) Control-It! was designed to be a "gentle" reminder, we have found that many customers, including children are expecting a much stronger taste, this is when we developed Omega3 Strength Control-It! with 5 times the active ingredients, our strongest cream. PARENTS: Q) What can I do as a parent with a nail biting child? A) We have learned from our customers a planned approach with children will benefit your success, rewards systems and self confidence building activities can easily be incorporated into the healing process. Consider boy's and girl's will have separate motives, wants and desires when it comes to why, or if, they will stop. Be prepared to be supportive in your child’s struggle in understanding why this behavior needs to stop. Use association games, appropriate to your Childs age, create a "game" of it. Education is key, both for yourself and your child. Continue your research, and be sure to see the articles listed under our "Newsletters" Tab.
