Thumb sucking at the adult stage is a fixation at stage of psychosexual development given by Freud.

The spider's web occupies a much larger space than does the animal itself. The web represents the spider's field of action in acting as a trap for insects. It is constructed according to a plan. A thread secreted by the spider joins two branches, two rocks, two supports of any kind; then he weaves the rays. The construction proceeds according to a plan. Finally the spider weaves the thread around the center, going around at an always very carefully calculated distance. If the points of support are close together, the web is small. The greater the distance of one from the other, the larger the web will be. But it will always be woven with the same exactness according to a precise plan.
As is the web, so is the mind of the child constructed according to an exact plan. The abstract construction enables him to grasp what happens in his field, which was out of his range heretofore.
Depending on whether the child lives in a simple civilisation or in a complicated world, his web will be more or less large and will enable him to attain more or fewer objectives.
This is why we must respect the interior construction and its manifestations, which may at times seem useless to us. The construction is necessary. It is thanks to this work that the child enlarges his psychic field and subsequently his receptive powers.
To consider the school as the place where instruction is given is one point of view. But to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case the school must satisfy all the needs of life.
An education that suppresses the true nature of the child is an education that leads to the development of anomalies.
Sconting, which, outside of school, has brought an organised form of life to children, has therefore always interested us.
