While we, mothers, would love to avoid them, try not to stress too much! Maybe try emphasizing the thumb-sucking as a thing of the past; nothing of the big girl sort! You could show her footage of professional ballerinas (since she loves dancing) and talk about how big girl ballerinas don't suck their thumbs. Good luck! :)B-Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889509365971309400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-4524659276739214702007-11-15T08:35:00.000-06:002007-11-15T08:35:00.000-06:00We need to make a trip to the dentist soon.

We switched them over to our family dentist, and they aren't happy about it :(!<BR/>Good luck with the thumb sucking. That would be the hardest thing! Taking the paci from Madison was hard, but at least when it was gone, it was gone. Good luck!!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594907511544202220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-80417114646491364322007-11-15T07:20:00.000-06:002007-11-15T07:20:00.000-06:00Let me know if you find anything that works to sto...Let me know if you find anything that works to stop thumb sucking. Elizabeth is a major thumb sucker and her teeth are very affected. My parents tried everything under the sun to get my brother to stop sucking his thumb and nothing worked. He finally stopped on his own in Kindergarten. <BR/><BR/>The only thing that I have ever heard of that works is a dental appliance that can be put in around the age of six. But, by then Elizabeth's teeth might be completely sticking out of her face!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318595988087482161noreply@blogger.com
