There are a few strategies that may help discourage thumb-sucking. Encourage positive reinforcement and praise for not sucking the thumb, offer alternative distractions or comfort objects, and try applying a bitter-tasting substance on the thumb to discourage the behavior.

One way to stop sucking your thumb is to identify triggers that make you want to suck your thumb and find alternative ways to cope with those triggers, such as using a stress ball or taking deep breaths.
