Thumb Sucking- how to stop

Best Options to Stop Thumb Sucking

Thumb sucking can be a hard habit to break. With pacifier suckers, you can just throw away the pacifier but with thumb suckers you cannot throw away the thumb. Kids suck for a variety of reasons, mostly to comfort themselves, to help go to sleep or to just suck in times of boredom. It is never a good idea to punish the child for thumb sucking. That will want to make them suck more. Shaming the child to quit thumb sucking is also not advised. They often get teased in school by their peers so that last thing your child needs in the negative approach at home such as thumb guards or nail polishes. Shaming a child can lead to a child’s low self esteem.

Try the positive approach. Children learn best in classrooms when learning is fun and positive. So the same can be done in your own home. Take for example potty training. One should keep it positive, light and something that all kids have to learn in order to be a big boy or girl. You can teach them in a fun and positive way with lots of praise and they will get it soon enough. You would never tape a toilet to their bottom until they get it, right?
The same goes for thumb suckers. If you teach them in a positive way with lots of praise, they will get it that they can break the thumb sucking habit without the shame or guilt.

Thumbuddy To Love uses the positive approach to teach kids to stop thumb sucking.

Here are some tips to prevent or stop thumb sucking:
· Keep the child's hands occupied with a product like Thumbuddy To Love, puzzle or other activity.
Carefully remove your child's thumb from his or her mouth during sleep.
Give the example of his friends that have managed to stop thumb sucking.
Don't put the child in a state of anxiety or fear. If the child has any emotional problems, or is under stress and needs comforting, you may need to resolve those issues first before your child can successfully stop thumb-sucking.
Talk about the 'bad' germs that are on our hands and how the child puts them in his or her mouth while thumb sucking.
Avoid punishing or shaming the child.
Reward the child for not thumb sucking for a progressively increasing time period.
Ask the advice of a pediatric dentist. He will explain to your kid what will happen to the teeth if the child does not stop sucking its thumb.
