[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Dude, take it away, let her scream for a week, and it's over. Stop fretting. You only prolong the process by continuing to give into it. Take it away, say no, and grow a pair. Wow. [/quote]

Why?  Just bc some people think based on nothing that a 2.5yo is too old?[/quote]No, no, no, this is the problem with posters, is they miss the point completely. Keep the pacifier until their 15 if you want. My point is the Op, is trying to figure out to get rid of it, without the drama. My point is just take away, and you will be drama free in no time, but procrastinating and worrying about tears, is crazy. They won't be traumatized forever. Take it away, so no, and the Op has her solution. Cool?[/quote]

No, I think YOU are the one who's wrong here actually. OP was also asking about whether there is a reason that you NEED to take it away by 2.5. She clearly knows about your just let them scream approach and was wondering if there's a better less traumatic way and if it's even necessary to take it away from her at all. I presume that if no one can pour to any real reason that it should be taken away, then she won't bother.

Your "grow a pair. Wow" is implying that she's a lenient parent who just lets get kids do whatever they want. And it was obnoxious. Perhaps you think it's ok to let your toddler scream for hours just because on a whim you've decided she's too old for something she loves based on nothing at all, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

Tell me there's a reason to do something - sure, I have no issue letting a toddler scream because she wants candy for breakfast. But if my dentist says its ok to let her have it, as mentioned by many posters here, then I see no reason to take it away from her. [/quote]
