Comments on: What Science Reveals About A Child’s Lovey or Security Blanket https://preschoolinspirations.com/security-blanket-loveys/ Preschool Activities and Learning Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:43:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.5 By: Margie Fedorchak https://preschoolinspirations.com/security-blanket-loveys/#comment-282916 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 14:43:50 +0000 https://preschoolinspirations.com/?p=11990#comment-282916 My granddaughter is now 7 and still has her special blanket that brings with her when she comes to my house. All that was posted on it’s security for children is true for her. It’s interesting that my daughter who will be 50 never had a security blanket or “lovey” and she turned out to be just as the artlcle said about children that DID have blankets and loveys. I think it simply depends on the personality of each child.

A small version is a lifesaver! Crossing my fingers that she loves it.

She wants to carry it with her everywhere and has already tripped over it several times. I am making her a smaller/safer version, but who knows if she’ll accept it!

It’s very common for children of this age to use a blanket to nap. If they’re not interested, they just won’t use it. Oftentimes, moms who breastfeed or did previously transition the weaning process by introducing the blanket as a replacement. I hope this helps!

I saw this with my 4 year old granddaughter & now with my 2 year old grandson. He’s very secure on his own but, the parental units insist that he have his blanket to nap. I’m concerned that their attachments weren’t a “natural” occurrence but taught/encouraged condition.

Can anyone help answer this for me? Thanks

It is so hard to find time to wash it because he always knows it is missing and he literally will not go anywhere without – even a 10 minute trip to the store. I have never ONCE thought about taking it away from him or weening him off of it. It makes my heart so happy to know that he has that extra comfort in his bubus’s old blanket! It is not embarrassing to me in the slightest.
He always rubs it on his little face and tells me “I love my blankey mom!”
How in the world could to take that from him or any child?

It was shaped as a ball with many strings coming out of it, but that’s what made my blanket special to me. When I was around 10, I came back from school. The day was normal and I didn’t think too much about my blanket because I knew it was going to be there waiting for me when I go to bed. As I was getting ready for bed, I realized my blanket wasn’t there. I went frantic everywhere trying to find my blanket but I couldn’t. I told my mom where it was and that’s when she realized she accidentally threw away my blanket. I cried for days and nights for my blanket. It was the only thing I cherished with my whole life.

One thing for sure my mom understood how important it was for me. When she washed it had to be done when I was not around. Now that I’m old for sure still remember to comfort it gave, and the self esteem that I have now. Strong and sure of whatever come on my life can be dealt in a positive way. Kudos for parents that let the little have one. We will leave it behind when we are ready but the comfort never leave. Us.
