Thumbsucking/Oral Fixations
"Some children NEED to have
something in their mouth, be it their thumb, fingers, shirt, toys, cat's
tail, etc. Encourage them to replace the object with something more
appropriate, perhaps a pretzel rod. This
behavior can also an indicator the child is bored, frustrated, or tired."
