[quote=Anonymous][quote]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.

I agree that the way that the other poster phrased it is obnoxious, but if the poster thinks it is important for the child to give up the paci (whether medically, socially, or developmentally), she shouldn't change her position based on the fact that the child is screaming.  I would assume that the OP probably thought about the issue of whether it was important to take the paci away the first time, before the screaming incident (otherwise, why would she have bothered to take it in the first place?).  If the poster has changed her mind based on her child's doctor or dentist's advice, that's fine, give the pacifier back, and explain to the child that you are doing so because the doctor said it was ok for her to have it for a bit longer.   But if she hasn't, she may just have to accept that the child is going to have a few very unhappy days.  Which is ok, the child has a right to feel upset about a sitation that she doesn't like.
