Which is great, because my son AA has been struggling with giving up his binky. Or perhaps I should say, WE have been struggling to get him to give up his binky. And I'm happy to say that the DVD worked, although in a very different method than the authors intended. It worked without even watching it! (How's that for a testimonial!)
I asked for a review copy* of the show, and when they said it was coming, we started to prepare Aaron. We watched some of the Youtube No Pacifier Videos and told him about the movie that we were going to get. After talking about how he was a big boy just like Elmo, he agreed "I don't need binkies any more." Of course that night he tried to renege, but after about an hour of crying he fell asleep. The first night was rough. The next night, a little crying, and the third night almost no crying. Today's the fourth day, and at night he complained about not knowing how to go to sleep, he was asleep within 10 minutes and didn't cry for his binky once!
If your kid is going through something similar, I'd recommend the video. Or at least recommend TELLING him/her about the video. Hey, it worked for us!
You can also go to the Sesame Street Pacifier Page, which has a lot of the videos, and lots of great tips for how to get your child over the pacifier hump.
