Too, the greater is the harm to his jaw and general mouth development, What to do about the matter is not easy to dis- cover, A mother writes from Cali- fornia: NEEDS HELP "Dear Dr. Myers: "Our family is very much in need of help with the problem of a little girl who sucks her thumb. At six, and ready for first grade, she is still sucking the thumb of one hand and twist- ing her hair with the other hand, "This 'child, my little grand- daughter, is a very bright little girl, She has not been nagged at but quietly and gently reas- oned with. She has two older sisters and a brother two years younger. She is very happy at the prospect of attending school, has had lots of swimming: this summer and rides horseback, just loving it all.

Jealous feelings toward the vmmoer brother could he a contributing factor. However, if there were no such difficulties, it's possible for a habit like this, which started under some emo- tional strain, to keep on even when tensions are removed. While I was conducting a clinic some years ago I was able to see several children as old as nine or 12 overcome thumbsuck- ing. There was the boy, nine, whose teacher had, at my sug- gestion, a secret plan with him whereby he was going to try hard to control the thumb dur- ing a certain daily school period of 20 minutes. ; During that period, she would make note of his success or he would report it to her privately. For each successful period, she would enter a mark in a special book. He was told secretly that he would receive a certain cher- ished prize when for 'his suc- cesses there were a total of 15 such marks. It was understood -that no marks would be recorded for an unsucessful period and that she would not watch his thumb at any other period of the day. She reported to me that the plan ef- fected a permament cure. A certain mother working with her son, 12, at home proceeded in like fashion during a regular daily period of 15 minutes. The mother of this older boy reported to me that her son, on earning seven marks, told her she need not worry about the prize as he -- he had already cured him- self, ANSWERING QUESTIONS Q.

Your problem is not easy. No doubt you and other members of the family. have been so dis- turbed over that child's thumb- sucking that you have betrayed your anxiety to her. DON'T MAKE APPEALS I think your first step is to try to see that nodboy is an- noyed at all by this matter.
