They CAN suck their thumb, however by that age, they should have grown out of it.
no if it makes you happy keep it no matter what people say
At nine years old, thumb-sucking is generally considered a behavior that should be addressed, as it can lead to dental issues and social stigma. While it's common for younger children to suck their thumbs for comfort, older children may benefit from finding alternative coping mechanisms. Encouraging them to engage in other calming activities or discussing their feelings can help them move away from thumb-sucking. If the behavior persists, consulting a pediatrician or dentist for guidance might be beneficial.
OPINION
Six-year-olds may continue to suck their thumb due to comfort and self-soothing, as it provides a sense of security similar to when they were younger. It can also be a habitual behavior that has developed over time. Stress, anxiety, or changes in their environment can further contribute to thumb-sucking as a coping mechanism. While most children outgrow this habit naturally, some may need gentle encouragement to stop.
Approximately 3-5% of U.S. males, age 15, suck their thumbs. It's a "normal" habit but often hidden due to the social stigma attached to it.
not something too scary but not something too babyish
It's an opinion.
Well I think Hannah Montana is babyish i used to like her but now all the little kids go and watch her concert. None of 13 year olds or 12 year olds go and wacth it. Well i got over liking her p.s. her voice is AWFUL IT KILLS ME!!!!
While thumb-sucking is a common habit in younger children, it's generally considered less appropriate for older kids and preteens, like 11-year-olds. Prolonged thumb-sucking can lead to dental issues or social concerns, as it may be seen as a sign of immaturity. If thumb-sucking persists, it might be helpful to discuss strategies to reduce the habit with a parent or a healthcare professional.
Because they think that watching cartoons is babyish, it's not
Indians suck really bad this year because they are bithes or slaves to Chinese people
