My wife and I are 5 days into taking the pacifiers away from our 34 month old but are having a tough time.?

When kids get older/more mature they sometimes get more priviliges, get to do big kid things. We used this logic for potty training, that we would only bring potty trained kids to Wiggles World . So along with being proud of being big, there was a reward - somewhat of a bribe - I like to call it more of a life's lesson. You could also try something with a chart - stars for nights that he sleeps well.
