Just wanted everyone to know that I've just created a group for mothers of thumb suckers, my daughter is 6, just graduated from Kindergarten and I'd like to break her of it by 1st grade, any ideas? What have you tried?
Good luck!!! I have no idea how to break that habit, we are trying to keep my little one from that habit right now. When she was first born she would put her thumb in her mouth and we just kept replacing it with her pacifier (my husband would say...the pacifier is something we can take away) she was fine until about a week or two ago and has started to try to suck her thumb again. Ill admit it is cute but i also agree with my hubby, so if you find oout any good tips could you please let me know, just in case that is a battle i may need to address later?
This might sound harsh...but I told my daughter "4 everytime I see you suck your thumb, I'm going 2 take away one toy", so I did { I took about 5 toys } starting w/ her most favorites { I would put them away were I knew she could never find them, n' guess what??? It worked !! Just an idea By the way... I gave them bk.
