Getting a Child to Stop Sucking on Their Fingers

My little cousin has a bad habit of sucking her fingers. Her mother does not do anything about it. I do watch her often so I have time to attempt disciplining her. Does any one know a way to get her to stop?

I would defer to the parents decision. Not doing so would potentially damage the child, who would be confused, or the relationship with the parent, who might be offended by you contradicing her decisions. If sucking fingers were a dangerous practice it might be worth the effort, but as it stands, I would keep my mouth shut.
