HOME NURSE
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Written for NEA Service

"CAN you suggest something
disagreeable to put on this
child's thumb to break him from
sucking it," a young mother ask
ed a pharmacist in the drug
store. The three-year-old at her
side sucked his thumb content-
edly, oblivious to his mother s
conversation.
II could, lady, but I'll be
honest with you. 1t won't do any
good" the pharmacist replied.
Usually the child gets used 70
the taste and goes right on suck
ing. The doctors tell me they
don't recommend such treat
ment any more
The young mother is likely to
be over-anxious about breaking
her child from thumb-suckin3,
because so much has been said
about its harmful effects. Al
though there is some difference
of opinion about this, authorities
generally agree that punishments
or restraints TO break the habit
DO more harm than good. They
are likely to cause the child to
indulge himself further, to gain
attention or to comfort himself
IN his unhappiness.
The baby usually discovers by
accident that there is satisfaction
to be gained from sucking his
thumb. 1t may be caused by the
fact that he is hungry, or is not
being property fed. This POSSIBLE
ity should be eliminated by con-
sulting q physician.

Since the best time to stop
tbumb-sucking Is in the begin

be quietly removed every time 1t
goes into the mouth. II some-
thing is placed in his hand to at
tract his attention he is more
likely to lose interest in the
thumb.
Thumb-sucking Is definitely an
infantile act. When 1t is persisted
in to the age of three Of four
years, or more, II is probably
because of some adjustment DIFF
ficulty that should have special
medical attention.
The older child who has suf-
ficient interests and playmates
