Almost half of babies show a strong attachment to an object as a child -- a stuffed animal, a stuffed blanket, a towel, etc. These stuffed animals are usually very common items in life, and they are easy to carry around. The baby takes them everywhere and must take the loveys to bed at night.
Why do babies get so attached to these things? The main reason is that these stuffed animals can provide love and security for babies. When babies grow up to a certain age, they will have more and deeper contact with the outside world besides getting along with their parents, who are not always there for them. At this time, babies need other sources of security besides parents, and plush toys just play this role.
The soft touch, comfortable smell and even shape of comforts such as plush toys and blankets can make babies feel familiar with the comfort and security of being with their parents and help them cope with strange situations.
In addition, for parents, these plush toys can also ease the pressure of raising children.
Many parents will use plush toys to appease the baby, such as he resisted to go to the kindergarten, refused to sleep with his parents, or to the new environment on the restless, as long as the plush toys in the baby's arms can make the baby quickly calm down, so in some cases, plush toys can be said to be the "parenting artifact" of the general existence.
