| Abstract: | This case study assesses the effects of thumb sucking and transitional object on a 4 year old child while being observed in 3 different environments, for 15 minutes each time for 10 days. Sucking only occurred when the transitional object was with the child. These results are discussed through reference to a literature review. Methods of how to control thumb sucking are proposed. |
