David Decides about Thumbsucking

David Decides about Thumbsucking is a classic children's book that tells the story of a young boy who learns to stop sucking his thumb with the encouragement of his family and a caring therapist. SLPs, orofacial myofunctional therapists, occupational therapists, and parents widely use this book as a therapeutic tool to motivate children to change thumbsucking habits that can affect oral development and dentition. It pairs naturally with Emily's Sister for clinicians building a library of habit-elimination resources, and complements TalkTools oral placement therapy tools used in broader habit-change programs.

  • Relatable narrative helps children understand why thumbsucking is a habit worth changing
  • Encourages children to take ownership of the behavior change process
  • Useful supplement to orofacial myofunctional therapy programs targeting oral habits
  • Accessible language and illustrations appropriate for young children ages 4 and up
  • Supports concepts taught in TalkTools oral habit elimination training for SLPs and OMT specialists
  • Orofacial myofunctional therapists working with children on habit elimination programs
  • SLPs and dentists supporting clients with thumbsucking or oral habit disorders
  • Parents and caregivers looking for age-appropriate resources to introduce habit change
  • Children ages 4 and up who are ready to stop thumbsucking
