ho Pallavi Hate ! I can comprehend ur concern. u could try talking to the child and find out the triggers such as anxiety, stress ,boredom , self soothing.. once u have identified the trigger please work on it. please go through this blog.

Hi Pallavi, whenever you find him sucking thumb give something to eat as a finger food, any fruit or snacks. He is 6 years so he can understand you so narrate a story about a boy who used to suck his thumb and his finger bacame thin and useless(add more imagery to the story). For further help read this blog:Hey! I find this Parenting blog really interesting.
