[quote=Anonymous]For the nighttime thumb sucking, our DD wanted to stop but was having trouble doing it. We finally agreed on a big reward (this was years ago but we gave her an Ipod) as a goal. She then went for several days going to bed with a sock covering her thumb hand. That broke the habit and she has not gone back to it. It was tough on her even though she wanted to do it, almost like a smoker trying to kick the habit. But she wanted to stop for the sleepover/embarassment reason so it worked. Loveys are less of a big deal and I think you can just limit them (such as the in the house rule) and they will eventually move off of it. [/quote]
