Thumb Sucking: Time To Stop
September 16, 2009 Posted by The Wanna Have Fun Hen
My son is a thumb sucker. I did not know how to get him to stop and what damage it may create. I asked our pediatric dentist his opinions on this subject. He told me that the critical ages for stopping is 5 and 6. Before and after these ages it can be much more difficult to stop.
I explained to my son that he would be starting Kindergarten and it would not be good to suck his thumb in front of his friends. He seemed to understand the social ramifications of this habit. He stopped sucking his thumb whenever someone was around but, when he was in his car seat, watching TV and at night time, he was still sucking. I would try to remind him, but I did not push too hard.
If It’s Broke, They’ll Fix It

Everyone seems to be on a budget these days. We could all use new ideas on how to save money. Recently I found out, if a product stops working before it should, you might be able to get it replaced (I do not save receipts).
Last week, my son’s LeapFrog Leapster game cartridge stopped working. I called their toll-free number and they agreed to send me a new one, if I mailed them the old one. I just saved $24.00.
