ABSTRACT:
A device to deter finger sucking is a partial cover for the hand with at least one finger stall encompassing the finger or fingers usually sucked. The device can also have individual finger stalls, each accommodating one finger. The device has a ribbed cuff that is elastic so the child can put the device on and take it off himself. The device is made of a knitted fabric that is stretchable throughout. This characteristic makes it possible for the child to remove his finger or fingers from the one or more finger stalls and move the device upward on his arm and out of the way when eating, washing, for personal hygiene and certain school activities and thereafter quickly replace it on the hand with the finger or fingers in the one or more finger stalls. The child has complete control over its use. This device should be maintained on the hand or arm at all times except when bathing. The device can be colorful and decorated in a manner that is attractive to the child. The knitted fabric provides a dry unpleasant mouth feel and allows air to pass through the fibers so that no suction is attained during sucking. Without suction there is no satisfaction and the child is deterred from sucking his finger or fingers until he stops altogether.
