This reminds me of when I wanted to break my daughter's dummy habit and took the dummy away. In it's place I left a Pooh Bear cuddly toy and a note from Pooh Bear about why the dummy had gone.

We told our son that Father Christmas collects them and to leave it out with the milk and cookies 🤣

That is a better solution in many ways because it requires action on the child's part ... albeit reluctant action, no doubt!

And a little bit of bribery in case the big guy doesn’t leave any presents 😉

I love this story but had forgotten about it. Thank you for retelling it! How serendipitous that the girl found the note years later. I wonder how.
