Why children become so attached to toys and comfort blankets
September 04, 2009 - posted by lisa
Here's a great story about why children get attached to their loveys. According to this researcher, children truly believe their toys possess an inherent life force, and can immediately tell which is their lovey from an identical copy.

No surprise to us parents. Or even to me; as a child I remember dropping my toys on the floor and truly feeling sorry for them that they had gotten hurt.

I wanted to reprint this article here, but the Guardian UK wanted about $200 for permission (um... thanks anyway), so I will just give you a link here. Read the article. Enjoy!
