Dear 8,

My oldest daughter, who is 18, just stopped sucking her thumb!!! LOL!!! She sucked her thumb through braces and everything. We tried it all!!!! SHe lost her grandfather and father three weeks apart from one another when she was 11. I know this was a huge comfort thing. What got her to stop? Her retainers!!!! There is an appliance that dentists can put in the roof of thier mouths that will not allow the thumb to fit in there comfortably. I didn't make her stop as this was the only habit she had and I knew it was her comfort when dealing with insecurities. Good luck!

Carolyn
