I have oak floors. Nail heads come up, I push them down, and they come up

I won't even ask why they come up, but just how do I keep them from doing
it.
Pull them and put in larger nails (thicker, longer?)? Some sort of glue?
Move?



Brand new house, repurposed old boards, radiant heat below, nervous about
longer nails....right now I simply have a community hammer and everyone
knows what to do with it and nobody is allowed to go barefoot! Will try a
little glue in the hole. Thanks
