my child did thumb suck but around two to three weeks only and from then on did not try to thumb suck again. my wife just always reminds him not to and he just stops doing it. but there are stubborn kids that they always make a point to do or to keep it from parents and still thumb suck. i saw this site were they have ways or five tips that can make your child stop thumb sucking. let me share the link for you and hope it will help you or any family member who has a problem with their children who are thumb sucking

thumb sucking?? i used to thumb suck when i was 4 or 5 years old thats why my teeth is crooked lol try to avoid thumb sucking as earlier as now coz when he gets old, he'll have a problem on his teeth, & he will tend to have a brace. now i'm planning to have a brace but it costs alot.. :(

i asked many dentists about retainer, & all of the dentists said 'retainers are not advisable' my personal dentist told me that i should get a brace not a retainer, coz retainers will just put after you removed your braces , in short it's just a maintenance hehehe.. how much naman ung pahulugan? lol

I am sure this will help a lot of parents. I got a friend whose kid also won't stop thumb sucking! But, now he is like 7 years old, he knows it's no longer good to see! LOL!

sometimes other parents just let their children suck their thumb and just let the child out-grow to that habit. i think parents has a big role to make sure this kind of habits be stopped at a certain age. its a habit hard to break but we parents need to be there to supervise.
