Is your child over 5 and still sucking their thumb or fingers?
Have you tried everything to get them to stop?
We are running a Thumb/Finger Sucking Program at Speak Learn and Grow.
Why should you worry about thumb/finger sucking once a child is school aged?
- It changes the development of the mouth
- It causes dental issues
- It results in speech issues (lisp)
- It can cause oral infections
- It can change the shape of the thumb
Why what you’ve already tried may have failed:
- It did not address the muscle dysfunction
- It did not promote proper tongue rest posture
- Children learn to work around guards if they really want to
- The child is not involved in resolving the problem
What our program includes:
- Education around why children suck their thumbs/fingers & the impact this has on their development
- Saying goodbye to triggers
- Correcting tongue resting position
- Targeting lip seal
- Allowing the child to take charge
- Positivity & excitement.
