**“Getting My Nails Cut” is a supportive and engaging social story designed to help elementary-aged children feel more comfortable and confident about the process of having their nails trimmed. Whether at home, in school, or at a clinic, many children experience discomfort, anxiety, or sensory sensitivity around nail cutting—and this story offers a gentle, child-friendly way to prepare them for the experience.
The purpose of this social story is to: reduce anxiety or fear around nail cutting, normalize the process through relatable language, teach children what to expect in a predictable sequence, offer calming strategies to support self-regulation, and reinforce positive behavior with encouragement and praise.
This story can be especially helpful for children with sensory processing challenges, autism spectrum disorder, or general worries about grooming routines. It can be read aloud, used in a visual schedule, or even paired with real-life practice.
