[quote=Anonymous]“She will give it up completely on her own time” I know you think this, but some kids hold tight to those comfort items. Why wait until she’s permanently altered her soft palate? If you’re trying to avoid upsetting your child, you’re in for a long parenting road. The kids I know who have these types of parents are the ones that are either unhinged at school because they make all the rules at home OR are extremely anxious because they feel like they have to be in charge and they are never challenged to do anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. It’s okay to say no to a child. It’s okay to push them past their comfort zone. In fact that is how their brains grow and how they develop resilience. What if your child decides they’re not ready for kindergarten? You have to think about these things. You have to help them learn to develop and grow and that means overcoming roadblocks along the way. Look up “snowplow parents” —the outcomes are not good.[/quote]
