Pls Help: How To Stop A Child Thumb Sucking. by rajunor(f): 10:52am On Mar 26, 2023 |
Good morning parents in the house, like the topic said, i need help on how to stop my 2 years old boy from sucking his thumb. I have done all i can to no avail. I have used bitter leaf, plaster and even resorted to beating the child, nothing seem to be working. Please, if you have been through this phase in parenting before, how did you stop your child thumb sucking? Ps; pardon my typos. |

I think they often use bitterleaf juice everytime 9n the finger... It often irritates the child and they will stop gradually.... Others get abused by their peers and they stopped... I've seen a mother use scary crayfish to tell the child that her fingers will get bitten by the crayfish if she tries to suckle on it. You can scare the child to stop it or you hit the child and or deprive the child his/her favourite snacks and so on... 2 Likes |

Both my kids sucks their fingers, initially I was really against it,their dad advised me to stop bothering my self that they would outgrown it,and boths doesn't do that anymore. I would advise you to ignore and quit spanking that child. 4 Likes 1 Share |

My elder sister is also facing similar issue, she did all that but my nephew is still sucking. He's 6yrs now, whenever he's idle he would start sucking but not like when he was much younger......I believe children out grow it. He doesn't suck in school because he knows his classmates would laugh at him. Na only house he dey suck. |

rajunor: you are actually considering effemination as a solution. all the people that told you to be patient, you didn't ask them to expantiate. you were even beating the child for being a child. |

rajunor: Embarrassing! and what will happen if he pees in public? you will open ground and bury your head in shame, right? or maybe you will beat him like You were even beating him for sucking. welldone, mother of the year. 1 Like |

He'll outgrow it really. Just keep doing what you've been doing to make him stop. But beating him is not an option. You should still be grateful he doesn't rub his belly button while at it 1 Like |

rajunor: I refuse to understand or see you attempted validation of reason to find the "finger sucking" of a 2 year old kid embarassing. I refuse to come down to such a shallow level of understanding. You are not even trying to make it stop for his own sake, it is to make you look good hence the application of aggression in trying to make him stop. Do it gently having it in mind that success is a process especially with a child. Many women with more grace, style, class and levels than you are battling with autistic children they have to carry on their back even when the child is 20 years old and here you are, trying to make me understand what? |

kingtinnie: you suck fingers does not make it a common practice. maybe one out of 10,000 people. And there is no way it can be equal to the regular sucking of a child. Almost everyone in my house sucked finger while growning. My lil sis did it for the longest, till almost 3. GUESS WHAT, WE ALL DUMPED IT AS BABIES. so please do not try to bring your rare case into this matter like it is something common. |

superCleanworks:You seem good at criticism. if you got no answer to her question, visit politics section. op is trying to gather ideas on how to stop her two year old from finger-sucking. imagine having someone like you as a spouse! 2 Likes |

Exmilitant: you seem to have poor sense of assimilation and absent ability to understand anything that goes beyond one sentence. Kindly visit whatever section that solves your problem while you keep trying to imagine what it would be like having yourself as a dog, not even to talk about spouse. But who cares? Stay in your lane IF YOU CAN. I have offered my solution but you will not see it even if I write it on your cornea. it is not for you to see with your mental selectivity with respect to what pleases you. Since you are so good at directing people to different section Mr Traffic Warder of Nairaland, direct yourself away from me to somewhere you can play with sand. |

rajunor: Just buy plaster used for wounds and wrap round the finger .not too tight.Then drop bitterleaf juice on it occasionally. 3 days tops he'll get tired. That's what I used for my son's own. |
