Pediatric Advisor 2009.1: Thumbsucking
Does your child thumbsuck? ? House on a hill
hope those help. actually...thumbsucking according to my pedia is NORMAL even at 4 or 5. to TRY to stop is going to do damage EMOTIONALLY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY. those problems sound worse than a problem with the teeth.
kung gamit ug sili or other stuff....di kaya ANOTHER thumb or finger ang i-suck instead? especially if you are NOT looking?
my two cents. my son never thumb-sucked anyways hehe. he is well-adjusted and very very bright and confident...thank God! lol
