"Thumbs Out"
Habit Elimination Program
Gentle, Supportive Habit Elimination — Rooted in Function, Not Shame
Thumb sucking and oral habits can be difficult to eliminate without the right guidance and support. At Salt & Light, we take a whole-person approach that addresses why the habit exists while empowering children and families with practical tools for long-term success.
Our goal is to foster education, connection, and support for your family and your goals.
It is possible to accomplish your goals without pressure, punishment, or power struggles.​
​
You May Be Here Because:
​
-
Your child continues thumb sucking despite reminders or rewards
-
You’ve been told the habit could impact teeth, jaw growth, or orthodontic outcomes
-
You’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or conflicted by differing professional advice
-
You want to support your child without shame, fear, or constant correction
You’re not doing anything wrong.
Oral habits often serve a purpose, and lasting change requires understanding, readiness, and support.
The Salt & Light Difference
Our Habit Elimination Support Program is a short-term, structured program designed for children to support elimination of oral habits and establish healthy oral patterns with support and accountability.
This program is often recommended before initiating ongoing therapy services and allows us to determine whether additional intervention is needed.
Completion of a brief readiness form is required* prior to scheduling.
Are You Ready To Start?
This program is most successful when it is the right season for both the child and family. Readiness, motivation, and consistency are key components of success.
Participation requires the program to be followed as designed and supported at home.
​
This is a private-pay program.
Program investment: $350.
​
Our goal is not simply to eliminate a habit, but to support each child in a way that is respectful, empowering, and developmentally appropriate.
