2 year old sucks thumb
I have a 2-year-old who sucks his thumb, and he's not giving up the habit. I've tried everything to help him stop, but it's been more than a year, and he still won't quit. He sucks it quite vigorously, and when I notice him or raise my voice, he stops briefly, but that doesn't lead to any lasting change. Please help!
