With all that I [didn't] find - I knew I'd have to make my own. I knew I wasn't the only one out there with the same concerns - and then wanted to help kids and parents gain control and break the habit by offering my product on Etsy. When I made this stop thumb sucking cover for my girls (M & E), I did it 1) to help them stop sucking their thumbs, and 2) to help me stop nagging them to stop. Once it was on - it was "game on" and there was no taking it off.
Are you at this same point. Do you want to help your child stop the habit before it gets worse and costly? I have had pediatric dentist offices contacting me to share my awesome ME Thumbsucking Thumb Covers with their clients. I've had parents telling their friends who tell their friends and so on because it works. I've had parents email to tell me - their child's thumb sucking days are over! Be prepared to be happy and sad when they do quit, because I can assure you, it is a very bitter sweet moment!
Ok - so here's the scoop! I want to help people. I would like to help the children realize they can comfort themselves without putting their thumbs in their mouth, and I want to help you - the parents of these great children before the battle begins - or end the battle if it has already started! In order to do that - they need to know about my product and about Kid Giddy. For the rest of this year, I am giving away 1 Kid Giddy ME Thumbsucking Thumb Cover away every month (on the first Saturday of the month - I know - this is the 2nd Saturday - but I was happily watching my daughter turn 7 all last week!) to a lucky Kid Giddy Blog follower.

And you have to have patience and compassion in your pocket for when it makes them sad to not be able to suck their thumbs.

My youngest son used to suck his thumb (no encouragement from me). Occasionally I'd pull his thumb out and say "big boys don't suck their thumb", but I didn't really make a big deal out of it. One day he said to me, "I'm going to be a big boy now". Simple as that, and he never sucked his thumb again. Surprise me - he was listening after all. haha
hey, thanks for dropping by my blogfrog discussion. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I think your blog is great and it's normal to get stuck (even though it appears you are not at the moment.) I'm a new follower.
