Thumb-sucking is an appropriate and useful behavior for very young children,It allows them to comfort and entertain themselves. Dont worry too ,punishing your preschooler or nagging him to get his thumb out of his mouth won't help because he probably doesn't even realize he is doing it. Methods such as putting an elastic bandage on her thumb will seem like unjust punishment, especially because he indulges in the habit for comfort and security. Plus, pressuring him to stop may intensify his desire to do it even more. Try to wait it out. Children usually give up thumb-sucking when they find other ways to calm and comfort themselves. If your child tends to suck her thumb when he is hungry, for instance, he'll soon learn to simply open the fridge and look for something to eat or ask you for a snack instead. The key is to notice when and where sucking occurs and try to divert his attention by offering an alternative. Together, you and your child can find solutions that will eventually help her kick the thumb habit.
