Thumb Sucking Habit Son
Thumb sucking habit is actually a natural action infant. "It is very common for them to use another finger or thumb for comfort," says physician Robert Anderson, a pediatrician from Iowa, Canada.
In the first month of life or it could be faster, children can begin to understand that suck the finger made him uncomfortable. "It makes them calm down or just because it was fun," said Anderson again.
But if left until the child begins to grow larger, this habit could hamper its development, such as the ability to speak. When the tolerance limit for the child's thumb sucking habit?
"Usually when a child is aged 2-4 years will begin to train other brains, in addition to sucking fingers, such as the ability to speak," added the dentist Mary Hayes from Chicago.
But not all children with easy to stop thumb sucking habit. If the habit persists until the child is 2 years old, this could make her stunted growth.
According to Hayes, if left to your child's teeth can be a forward or a clenched jaw when the upper and lower front teeth remain open. Another problem that may arise there is a change of palate due to thumb pressure in the area.
Not only that, the child also had problems in the articulation if it continues to suck his thumb. Children are difficult to say the letter T and D with the right or the other letters.
So how do you get kids to stop the habit? Family psychologist from California, Jenn Berman and physician Robert Anderson, gave a few suggestions:
1. Try to limit the time the child is sucking his fingers. For example, may only do so in his room or at home, not while in a public place."Tell the children that this should only be done at bedtime or during sleep," explains Berman.
2. Do not make this issue as a fight. "Do not tell the child, you should not be sucking your thumb again," said Anderson. "Rather than give criticism, when children do not suck your thumb, give him a compliment," he added.
3. Communicate to the children about that habit. "Tell the child, whenever he was ready to stop that habit, you are ready to help," says Berman. This method can make the child motivated and eventually come to you to ask for your help.
4. Build awareness of the child. "When the child sucks his thumb, remind her that she was sucking his fingers," explains Hayes. If the child does not realize it, help him and find ways is there anything else that could make it comfortable in addition to the finger.
5. Perform creative ways to make children understand that they're already big and one day will not suck his finger again.
