[quote=Anonymous]I just went through this myself, although it wasn't as bad. About a month before DD turned 3, I told her that when she turned 3, there would be no more paci, because three year olds don't have pacis. She's only used it for sleeping at home, not even naps at daycare, since she was 9 months old, so I figured it would be no big deal.

Then she turned three. I took it and put it in my drawer (because I'm weak, and didn't want to tell her I threw it away, because I wanted her to think they just...disappear). God, was she pissed. I've never seen her so mad. Screaming, crying, hitting, kicking. After a solid hour of this she went to bed, laid down, asked me to sing a song, and then told me to leave. She slept. Next night, same deal. And then it was over. For a week she would say "Three year olds don't have pacis." And now, she doesn't say anything.

I think that once you start, it's best to continue and not back down. Don't keep starting and stopping; that will just drive her crazy.
