“It has done wonders for us. In the past everyone told me I would just have to let him grow out of it. I was so happy to read something else.”
Letter from a parent to the doctor who gave her David Decides

"David Decides ...a friendly and constructive approach... a positive way to help children to help themselves.”
Joan Herst, The Denver Post

Psychologist Susan Heitler saw her first three children develope protruding front teeth from vigorous thumbsucking. She wrote David Decides in part to help her fourth child, photographed as David in this book, to end his thumbsucking habit. Because the story was so motivating for her son, she decided to publish it for other children.
