Getting Rid of a Habit

131109 Date with Daddy

Child #2 is a thumbsucker and now that her baby teeth are falling off and permanent teeth are growing in, we are helping her rid of the thumb sucking habit with rewards.

The first step was to have her stop sucking her thumb during the day. If she was successful for a week, then she got a reward. We gave her 4 weeks to stop the day thumb sucking. Each week, the rewards were a little better until she finally earned a date with Daddy.

Today, Hubby took her out on her date.

The next step is to rid of the night thumb sucking.
