my daughter sucks her thumb, but she is still young and i really don't think it will cause her any emotional damage if she keeps on with this habit. i really don't even knoe why she started it anyway.

Does your child still suck his thumb? Have you actively tried to stop your child from sucking his thumb? Did you know it could affect his dental health?
