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...

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.

Nazgul:
Just be patient with him...with time, he'll outgrow it.

kingtinnie:
I see people saying they’ll stop or grow out of it ..I’m sorry but we don’t we only get better at hiding it

rajunor:
You won't understand. The kind of questions some people ask you in public like 'madam, your pikin dey suck im finger?' in a demeaning manner.

RoyalBlu:


OMG!

You mean you still....

OMG

kingtinnie:


Oh yes i do …it can’t be stopped it’s wired into you..some sort of soothing mechanism like how a cat purr’s

superCleanworks:


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. WE ALL DUMPED IT.
so please do not try to bring your rare case into this matter like it is something common.

Exmilitant:
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!

superCleanworks:


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.

Exmilitant:
You sound like you are suffering from what i may not be able to tell.

Exmilitant:
I won't be mad with you dear, you are suffering and your sick, sick has affected your head.

it's a fine sunday afternoon now, run off to play and stop mentioning me

rajunor:
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.

ahnie:
Supervleanworks and Mr ex militants I must commend your sparkling and impeccable English,you guys really made me laughed

Please gentlemen let's call a truce, your imputs are topnotched and both of you re on points,bit pls let's not ruined this lovely thread.

Happy Sunday.

Ahnie how you dey? you fall my hand sha.
that basic busy body wey no fit read one full sentence with understanding na she you dey put for the same quote with me? She fit write at all if oyibo no put AUTOCORRECT for phone?
See as the small girl dey lament like say na her pikin.
I don't know why she feel the need to be bitter just because my advise was not pleasing to her when the person concerned has picked the lesson (or not) and moved on. But the bitter whimp dey here dey sniff my ballz up and down.

The use of the adjective SHE is very deliberate.

rajunor:
Nothing seems to be working.

Ulunne777:


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.

ahnie:
