The best way to stop thumb and finger sucking is to get the kid’s on board with treatment. And if you can get them excited, even better!
That’s exactly the reasoning behind the inspiration to write “Shimmer the Star”, a new children’s book by Shilo LaLiberte. The book aims to motivate children to break the habit, using fun and engaging characters who share a similar journey. For ages 3-5, “Shimmer the Star” is a playful tale about a star who shines brightly, but something makes her feel shy. With the help of the moon, Shimmer discovers a clever tool that has her twinkling brighter than ever before!
With beautiful illustrations and motivational characters, this positive and uplifting book is perfect for storytime or bedtime cuddles, all while helping little ones overcome finger and thumb sucking habits.
From the author:
“My daughter had a habit of sucking on her fingers. After much worrying about this, I was determined to find a solution. Thankfully, I discovered TGuard®. Before placing the TGuard® over her fingers I read her this very book for 30 days to help her understand and to make it fun. With the book and the product combined, it worked like magic! My daughter has never turned back to sucking on her fingers. I am passionate about sharing this positive experience and spreading the word about this amazing product.” -S.L.

She is passionate about creating ways for tricky things to be easy. Because she knows, parenting can sometimes be the opposite of easy.
