Kanika JainMom of a 7 yr 8 m old girl3 weeks 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 What to avoid Shaming, teasing, or punishment Nagging or forcing

RashmiMom of a 11 yr 4 m old girl3 weeks agoA. Femite lotion you can use as a lot of times kids get into this habit so you can use this otherwise regular counselling would be good as a 13 year old child is very sensible you have to show the child all the negative impact of this thing and your child will give up over the period
