Nose picking

Does anyone have any advice to help me stop my 4.5 yr old son from picking his nose and eating it? It is so disgusting and nothing I have tried so far has helped (I've talked to him, I've tried time outs, I've tried taking away priveleges) when I catch him make him get a keleenex and wash his hands and tell him how yucky it is, but I can't get him to stop and it is driving me crazy.

Divert his attention. If you make it an issue he'll keep doing it.

Ignore it... the more you give that attention the more they do it!

My 2yo loves doing it - so gross!
