Well, to be more specific, my daughter sucks... her thumb. Since I don't know of any adults who suck their thumb, I figured she'd probably kick the habit at some point. Sadly, just went to see the dentist who says she's concerned about my daughter's upper pallate and her front teeth. I've talked to her about it, and she's trying to quit, but the thought of quitting makes her upset, and when she's upset, she sucks her thumb, so it's a bit of a sick-sucking-cycle.
Anyone out there have thoughts that don't end in hysterical sobbing? Something that my daughter could try would be good too.

I was eight when I finally quit sucking my thumb, and it caused a lot of damage to my teeth that it took years of retainers and braces to fix.
So I hope you find a solution! Maybe have her dip her thumb in vinegar (or something else that tastes bad) before bed every night?
