Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - How to Help a Kid Stop Thumb-Sucking

Today on the show: What to do when your kid won’t stop sucking their thumb. Lucy, Elizabeth, and Zak offer guidance for moving on from thumb-sucking—without turning to bribes or battles—as well as alternative methods of self-soothing. In ‘triumphs and fails’ Elizabeth and Zak wrestle with airports and big international moves, while Lucy deals with a budgeting tantrum.Join us on Facebook and email us at [email protected] to ask questions, share feedback, and suggest future topics.
