[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 40143, member: 393"] I generally don't reply on this forum...here goes though. kt, who is 12 going on 13, still uses a pacifier to calm herself. Not as much as she did a year ago - a lot less the 3 years ago. Having said that, our pediatrician dentist is aware of kt's emotional disturbance & is working with us on keeping her teeth healthy. His response to this - she may have a beautiful smile but if she isn't functional why bother? I appreciated the common sense in the pediatrician dentist's statement. In the meantime, kt uses gum (your difficult child is probably too young) as a substitute; we've also used baths & herbal teas at night. I rub her back until she falls asleep. She needs her pacifier less & less. Just wanted to share what happens here - don't know if this will help. [/QUOTE]
