Hello,

I have an 8th grader who sucks her thumb in class. When I
call her mother to inquire about this situation, she said
that her daughter sucks her thumb at home but didnt think
she did this at school. I do not know if this has happened
in previous years because this has just been brought to my
attention this year. When I questioned the student about
the thumb sucking she said it was just a bad habit. I spoke
to her about this habit and let her know that she could be
digesting a lot of germs and spreading them as well through
her saliva. We drew on her thumb to remind her not to suck
on it. Any other suggestions????
