NO one should ever, ever deliberately "crack" an infant's or child's fingers or toes! First, it is not necessary. Second, it causes ouchies--it hurts. Third, it can change the space between adjoining bones. PLUS, you could break a child's or infant's bones, which are not as strong as an adult's bones!

How do you stop your toes from cracking?

Steps to your toe cracking problems!!!Toe Cracking is all in the head. Do you have the feeling of restlessness in your toes? I had the same problem! I kept cracking all of my toes because i felt an uneasiness in my toes, like i had to move or had to do something. My toes were my answer and boy was i wrong. My toes hurt now, especially after a couples years of cracking them. I quit cracking them for a few years also, i think it was because i had my mind wraped on other things than my toes and boredom. As i continued to forget, i continued to quit cracking my toes. What shoul you do if your problem comes back? Follow these easy steps. 1. Just like an Antidrug find something to keep your mind wrapped, otherwise you'll have a tough time quitting with all the thinking of "Toes"2. After you find your antidrug begin to learn more about it if its a sport, game, etc.3. Next is physical treatment. Try a warm bath and i mean Very warm, not scorching hot i mean soothing hot. Just relax for about 10-25 minutes just relaxing in the tub, or even a foot therapy instrument, such as a foot massager.4. Now you have your "antidrug" and your ideal of soothing for your toe and other body parts.5. These five steps have been created by Conner ZeiglerPS.
