The best way to cure your child’s sucking thumb habit is to incorporate a plan that focuses on the immediate problem only without causing another problem. Any thumbsucking device is worthless if it interferes with the normal use of their thumb and, even worse, their hand. Tie your child’s hand behind their back and then tell them to go on with their normal day. The child is going to let you know immediately that they can’t use their hand and will continue to scream this information at you until you untie it. Well, this is what happens when you put most thumb sucking devices on your child’s thumb. Yes, they can’t suck their thumb. But, the bigger distraction is that they can’t use their thumb. The HANDAID covers only the bottom two thirds of the thumb. The top third is uncovered so your child can hold a pencil, a spoon or play on the computer. The only thing they can’t do is suck their thumb. Your child adapts to the custom fit quickly and the only time that they know that it is there is when they need to thumb suck. This is just one of HANDAID’S unique features which helps put you on the fast track to a thumb sucking cure or finger sucking cure.
