Why use a social story for stopping a binky?

Giving up a binky can be a big change for a child, especially when the pacifier has been part of their comfort or daily routine for a long time. A social story can help make the change more predictable by explaining what is happening in simple, child-friendly language. The included visual supports, First/Then board, sticker chart, and reinforcement story provide additional tools to help your child understand the new expectation and celebrate their progress.

All Positively Prepared stories are written using positive language and simple illustrations/words to reduce visual clutter and increase understanding.
