Try not to embarrass your child in public. For example, if he wants to take his dummy or teddy bear with him, don't say "You're too old to play with teddy-bears" or "Don't be a baby". Take him/her aside and ask him why he needs to take his comfort toys with him. He'll realize himself that he doesn't actually need them.
