Crayola Kiddies, a little boy I care for always came here with a soother. When he started here, he was 18 months and he just turned 2. He needed it at first. By the time he turned 20 months old, I realized that all his soothers were chewed and ripped. I couldn't believe his parents would send him with those things and expect me to let him use them at nap time (or when needed). I threw 3 of them out and told them they were choking hazards. He was upset about not having his soother for his naps at first, but didn't care after a while. Now he doesn't even care. He doesn't ask for one...He doesn't need it. yet, they still think he does. I keep seeing him in pictures on fb with one in his mouth. I just want to rip it out and throw it in the garbage! lol
