To some it is: But to society it is not. It is an old habit, association with safety, comfort , security , laziness on our part and the child's part. Partly our fault cus we get tired of arguing , fighting with our children especially those escalating bad temper tantrums, screaming, crying, yelling, arguing, never ending fights!need to stop now

No, ma'am: Individual psychotherapy with family participation is needed to determine what stresses him & why he is allowed to self-calm with a bottle. Assessment includes family history for psychiatric disorders, parent-child interactions since birth, child's iq, academic & social abilities, teacher reports & a dental exam. Therapists teach more age-appropriate coping skills before ditching the bottle.
