My friend has a 4 1/2 year old boy and is not concerned, per se, but sensitive to the fact that he's still very much attached to his teddy bear and still sucks his thumb, particularly when he's holding his teddy bear. She's not going to force him to stop either thing because she's uncomfortable with the idea of doing that to a child, but at the same time, wishes he would grow out of it already. She and her husband now try to encourage him to just have his teddy bear at night when he's in bed, and less so during the day.
I was just curious if anyone else here had a similar experience, or had any opinion on the matter, for or against, and what are your thoughts?
