Here are some ways to stop finger sucking:

Find your child's triggers: Your child may suck their finger in response to stress or anxiety, or it may be a natural reflex that has become a habit. Before and after finger sucking, watch your child's behavior to identify specific triggers for sucking.

Does your child only suck fingers at night to fall asleep? This can help you find the most effective strategies for removing triggers and breaking the habit of sucking.

Ask your child why they are sucking their thumb. In some cases, open communication is a good way to solve the problem. Your child can also help you realize that there are alternative ways of providing comfort or activity.

Providing your child with the comfort or activity they need or want can be an important step in breaking the habit.
