[quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids would have loved to suck the pacifier for longer, but we took them away. Sometimes you think your kid needs something and they don't, you let them rely on it for too long because you're afraid of upsetting them. But here's the thing, it's your job to help your children grow up. What if your dd doesn't just give it up like that pp said? Maybe her teeth and speech are fine now, but prolonged pacifier use will do something to it. But also you aren't giving your child any credit. You're not giving them the confidence that they can self soothe without this inanimate object. What will that tell them in the future? Avoiding frustration and giving kids what they want to avoid sadness will NOT make their lives happy. It makes them unable to handle the inevitable frustrations that will come in life. [/quote]
