POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy2 years agoA. Provide your child with an alternate means of coping with some kind words and a few hugs. This will teach them that they do not have to rely on their thumb for comfort. You can also give them a soft toy, a rubber ball, finger puppets, etc., as these items will keep their hands occupied and also distract them from anxiety. This is one of the best and natural ways to stop thumb sucking.Your encouragement and support is the best remedy for your child’s anxiety. If your child successfully keeps away from thumb sucking for a certain time period, reward him with a little gift, for example, an extra story at bed-time or a cuddly toy. Positive reinforcement is excellent for building good habits. Do not punish or scold your child if they fail at it on occasion.
