Kanika JainMom of a 7 yr 8 m old girl7 hours agoA. Positive strategies Praise progress, not perfection (“I noticed you didn’t suck your thumb during the movie!”) Use reminders, not scolding (a gentle tap or code word) Offer comfort alternatives: hugs, a stuffed toy, or a stress ball Keep hands busy: drawing, building blocks, fidget toys Identify triggers Notice when it happens most: Tired? → adjust bedtime routine Anxious or bored? → give reassurance or activities Watching TV? → hold a pillow or toy
