[quote=Anonymous]I was a thumb sucker until I was 10. I think it's anxiety so both the orthodontist who said "self soothing" and Dr who said "trauma" are right. A high anxiety kid experiences many things as traumatic, even things others dont experiencethat way. I didn't realize how anxious I was until my kids inherited it. I thought I was just very type A. One child was diagnosed as high anxiety at 4; the other is selectively mute, an anxiety disorder (also diagnosed at 4). It's nothing you did except maybe you or your husband, or another relative have the gene. In our case it comes from both sides.[/quote]
