Blankie Detox

For 2 weeks now, we have been in deep Blankie Detox. When she has Blankie, she sucks her fingers, and the finger sucking is making her teeth crooked, so the goal is to only have Blankie for sleep. Over the summer, the Blankie habit has gotten very bad, and we are having to work very hard to undo it. Parker isn't a 'cold turkey' kind of kid (we tried, repeatedly), so we're doing a chart. The categories are, No blankie with TV, no blankie in the car, and leave blankie upstairs. We have succeeded with not having blankie with TV, but the rest aren't going so well. Blankie in the car isn't an option any longer, and she isn't coping with it well. Car trips longer than 10 minutes begin with complaints and requests, and end with hysterical screaming and crying. By the end of all this, Parker will be detoxed from Blankie, but mommy will be in Betty Ford.
