A. Thumb sucking or finger sucking is normal in kids as they feel pleasure in doing that. Few kids feel insecure do they suck thumb or when frightened or when going to bed. Have patience and try to wean him off this habit. Avoid scolding him. Praise him when he stop sucking for a while. Gradually reduce the intervals during day time.
