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.
They CAN suck their thumb, however by that age, they should have grown out of it.
yes u should get that stopped by the age 5
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.
