I thought he had stopped this awhile ago until last week when I looked into the window while coming in from outside. He had just gotten home from school and all four boys (ages 10, 7, 5 and 5... twins) were watching cartoons on TV. I noticed his finger up his nose and to my disappointment he spent the next several minutes picking his nose and eating it right in front of his younger brothers without making the slightest attempt to hide it. In fact, the other boys who greatly look up to him have also taken up this nasty habbit and the twins do it often and unlike my oldest, are not real careful where and when. When I tried to tell him he is setting a very bad example he gets angry and says he only does it at home and waits until I am not around. He says he still likes doing it and taught it to his younger brothers, because he wanted them to do it so they would not make fun of him like I guess a couple of his friends have. Is this normal for a 10 year old? Should I just ignore this?
