What to do if the child does not want to stop sucking a dummy in any way? How to disaccustom the child to a dummy? Before starting it, decide on terms: whether your child for such important act ripened whether this disaccustoming a psychological trauma will be for it. There are several ways allowing to disaccustom the child to a dummy.
- Wait when the child gains sufficient consciousness to begin to reduce time of use of a dummy. For example, agree with the kid that he will suck a dummy only before going to bed or after a lunch. The main thing that the child began to wean from dependence gradually.
- This way is more radical. Will suit not all children. Organize a special celebration on the occasion of farewell of the child to a dummy. For example, persuade him to present consciously it to other baby or you will throw out, explaining to the child that he became for it already too adult. The main thing, in this case let know to the child that if the dummy was thrown out, then return to it will not be any more. In case the kid transfers excommunication from a dummy very hard then, he just still morally did not ripen and once it returns a dummy.
- If you began to notice that the child can quietly fall asleep without dummy and does not remember it until he sees it, so he is already ready to that to throw Do not throw out it at once, but begin to remove slowly it from a field of vision of the child. Distract it attention to some games or walks and at good combination of circumstances in several weeks it about it and will not remember.
- If your child learned to drink from a cup, then try to give him all drinks only in a cup. That he absolutely weaned from drink from a small bottle.
- Never suggest the child to suck a dummy. Psychologists categorically do not advise it to do.
- Develop children's fine motor skills all developing games. Being engaged in toys, the child will quicker forget about a dummy.
You do not shout at the kid at all, it will negatively affect his mentality, and will not help to solve a problem. To smear a dummy with mustard, pepper and other similar substances also does not follow, similar "recipes" can lead to a moral trauma at the child. Some old people advise "to razmochalit" a dummy, allegedly it will help to disaccustom the kid to an unnecessary habit. It is impossible to do it at all as the child can choke with its parts unconsciously. And, the last, never frighten the child. He will wean from a dummy sooner or later, and here children's fears and nervoza can remain for the rest of life.
