How can I get my boy to stop sucking his thumb?

My boy is now six years old but for some reason he is still in the habit of sucking on his thumb all the time. I thought that by now the habit would have gone because it makes him look like a spoilt child. I have been asking around for advice on how I can get him to stop. Do you have any advice for me?  Winnie, Kimihurura
