PROMOTED Gloves to Stop Thumb Sucking © End Thumb Sucking How to Stop Thumb Sucking For many parents, looking after their children can be quite an easy thing to deal with. You can tend to their needs and make sure they never go without food or water whenever they need it. With a bit of extra financial security, you can provide them with numerous extras in life that will make them that little happier and more comfortable. However, some parents can go a little too far in letting their child live a free spirited life and this can lead to thumb sucking becoming more than just a cute habit as a child.

Julie Larsen Maher__0515_King Penguin and Chick_CPZ_02 10 15 WCS’s (Wildlife Conservation Society) Central Park Zoo is celebrating the arrival of New York City’s first royal baby – a king penguin chick. The chick is the first king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) ever hatched in New York City. The landmark hatching is the result of the expertise and careful husbandry techniques practiced by the zoo’s keepers and curatorial staff. “This hatching is a wonderful accomplishment for our staff. It will be a treat to watch this penguin mature,” said Craig Piper, WCS Director of City Zoos. “This was the first year that the king penguin chicks were old enough to potentially produce a fertile egg and we’re thrilled that conditions proved right for them to incubate, hatch, and care for the chick.”
