I want to stop my child sucking their thumb ...

While a child sucking their thumb can appear to be very cute, if it is not broken at an early age it can lead to many problems as they get older. They can include:
  1. Requiring Orthodontic work
  2. Teasing in school
  3. Speech problems

The earlier you can break your child of the habit of sucking their thumb, the more likely you are to prevent these problems as they get older.
