When you find out how, please let me know! My little girl is 2 and she sucks her thumb. I don't believe in the hot sauce, I just think that is a bit harsh.

each and every morning before college positioned a Band help on your youngster's thumb and spray it with fragrance (it somewhat is particularly from the 80's) or some thing it somewhat is risk-free yet has a bad style. tell your youngster's instructor so if he/she takes it off they are able to place if returned on. My mom did this to me around the same age and that i ended sucking my finger in a pair of days.

He will grow out of it, don't worry. At 4 years old, he should be able to be influenced that its babyish too, he will probably like being called a big boy, so tell him that he shouldnt do that anymore, encourage him to stop by rewarding him for not doing it for periods of time that increase to days, then that should be him off it.
Good luck.

Explain to him that he's becoming a big boy and you know how good it feels to suck your thumb, but at certain ages it only good to do so at home or only when its time to go to bed. Tell him he should try not to do it at school or in church, etc.
That is how we weened our little one.

Dark cocoa powder is bitter but doesn't burn their mouth like hotsauce. You can also use fingertip bandages or gloves.
