My doctor advised us to ignore my daughter Meira'sthumb suckinghabit as it will go off on its own.But the stories surrounding the thumb got to me..girls growing to be teenagers and still sucking thumb.......!!
So i thought "what the doctor knows anyways.Does he even have children? who knows?"
Solution 1 :I put a bitter medicine on her thumb.she slowly put her thumb in her mouth and made the most weirdest face ever.She cried bu bu(it means she is hurt or wounded)
For 2 whole days she was free from the habit and i felt the happiness of winning a race.But when i saw her again even with that bitter medicine..i felt like the finishing line of my race is still far far away...sob!
Solution 2 So i made the most menacing face ever and shouted at her...it frightened her a little bit and after some time irealizedmy daughter is not with me and the house is so quiet.My darling daughter was hiding behind the sofa and sucking her thumb.Later mymenacingface seemed normal for her!
Solution 3: I started sucking my thumb and totally ignored her.Meira comes and tries to remove my thumb!
When i refused she gives me the TV remote to divert my mind!Goshthischildrenare born with super brains!
She then kept doing all sorts of crazy things to remove my thumb .Shesat on me..she tried to bite me..tried to cry etc etc.She called me to play with her toys!. So i made a deal with her..i will not do it if you dont.Shedint seem to agree.She put my thumb in my mouth and encourage me to follow her habit!She even said "nice"nice"
Probably one day she will get over this habit...and when that day comes..i will definitely be one proud mother.
