i got nothin. we tried and tried with rebekah…and she ended up having to get a retainer from it. but now she stopped 🙂 she can’t suck it with a retainer! and now we have to deal with bailey. she sucks her thumb too…
Come on people…leave some advice! I’m going to need all the help I can get. I’ve got a four year old who’s a thumb addict and I didn’t do so good myself. I sucked my thumb until I was 8.
I immediately thought “she needs to put it on her list, so she can check it off that she did it…” If she is a list kid it might work??!?!?!
Eli was such a good kid, at 3 I told him he had to stop and he did. He cried some, but he stopped. I was so thankful he has ALWAYS sucked his thumb since he was a week old.
Jasper never sucked ANYTHING until 1 week before he turned 1… isnt’ that odd? He sucks it and has been for almost a year… and his thumb is so cracked and sore, that I just noticed two days ago that he is now sucking the OTHER thumb as a substitute. WOW. I am in for trouble. So, I am curious as well if anyone has any ideas!!!
Yeah Natalie!!!
She did great day 1! Hope it’s still going well!
I hate to admit this to the world(wideweb), but I sucked my fingers until I was 7, like Natalie only at night. I REALLY wanted to get my ears pierced, so my parents told me if I stopped I could. That was all it took! I quit and got earrings! At this age I think a big reward is the best you can do.
No advice here. sorry! My kids were pacifier addicts. We simply threw them away. Guess that doesn’t work on the thumb. But I am so impressed at how you treat your children and explain things to them. I always stumble over my words when trying to explain things to my children. I hope angelina helps the weaning process. Very cute picture.
My son didn’t suck his thumb but his bottom lip was forever in his mouth. I thought it would be okay… Not!!! He had to have braces at eight years old because having his bottom lip tucked in all the time flattened his hard palate. Go figure. Though all of that he now has the most gorgeous smile.
