Ways To Stop Thumb Sucking

There are so many ways you can encourage your child to stop sucking their thumb. We tried positive reinforcement, sticker charts, bribery, reprimand, malava, even a bandaid over the thumb. All this over a three year period. NONE of it worked. By the time our son was 7 we were becoming desperate. the dentist had warned us that his mouth was becoming distorted and an overbite was developing. We then found the solution on how to stop thumb sucking - it was fast, simple and very easy. Most of all, it did not cause our son any distress. Within 3 weeks he was no longer sucking his thumb.
