I am trying to type a psychology paper and I am doing it on what makes children get attached to things. I want to know what people think about it and why you think they do. Please help me with this
I started giving my son a stuffed toy as a baby after i had slept with it a few times, got my scent on it, it was a security thing for him.. Now he just loves it.. doesnt need it all the time, but he feels like hes at home while he has it.. like say if he stays the night at my moms house, i always take the puppy (stuffed toy) with and he can sleep..
They get attached to certain things because they think it is cool and the best thing in the world likemy cousin loves the trampoline and swings.
My daughter has a bear that she has had since she was an infant. She named him Bear, and he is her best friend! Bear sleeps with her, goes in the car with her, plays games with her, gets thrown around the house. We used to have to search for Bear every night at bedtime. We changed the rule to, "If you are not using Bear, he has to stay in your bed!" She loves Bear. When she gets in trouble, he comforts her. When she can't sleep, he lets her read to him. When her sister is sad, she offers Bear to her. Bear provides my daughter with a constant friend, unconditional love, and security. When Bear is lost, or left at Grandma's, she is okay for a day, maybe two. After that, she misses him, and needs him at home. My daughter is three. I know there will be a day when Bear will go into a memory box, but for now, he's her buddy, and that is just fine with me!

they get attached to things usually for security. Sometimes they may feel unsecure or just want to feel safe. Sometimes, they may even just have a favorite toy or blanket that they like to hang on to just like adults that hangs on to things for sentimental value.
usually its when they have no friends.i got attached to a blankie when i was 5 because i didn't know how to speak in english and the other kids didn't know how to communicate with me.(I'm mexican and no one knew how to speak spanish in my kindergarden class. But I learned english and i made lots of friends and i forgot about my blankie.)
As a new life in this world children are just full of questions that make us crazy. Children can get so sucked into silly things that as grown ups they might regret or just laugh about in the future.
I think children and adults do things that make them feel good and comfort them. It seems like everyone is seeking comfort whether in food, relationships, shopping, etc. Some of the ways we seek comfort is good for us....some of the ways are bad (alcohol/drug abuse, etc). I believe children do this too....they find comfort in a blanket, a fav stuffed toy, a binkie, behaving badly because it comforts them when momma finally pays attention to them (even if it is in a neg way).

It gives them a sense of familiarity and stability. You take the blanket away, and it's like ripping the carpet from underneath them.
It's like a security thing or just a friend when you need one.
becuz their dumb
because its something they;re used to and something they like because they dont know preferences and differences.
for example, when i was little i would wake up every night with my sister and we would sneak down to get white grape juice, and since it was every night we loved it... so now i always have it in the house and have it whenever i get a craving which is about every 5 mins lol
I think kids feel a sense of protection from certain items so they feel drawn to them.
well ok so i think its because they grew up with that object. and my friends little brother if u give him a DVD case he'll carry it everywhere and i meen EVERYWHERE even on like rollercoasters and stuff its rlly funny
safty
Children love routine and objects can represent security. Blankets, for instance, are soft and are there when you sleep. Therefore, when you have your blanket in a different circumstance(other than sleeping), it represents how comforting it can be when you are tired and falling asleep. They tie objects to feelings. Everything will be OK as long as I have (fill in blank: binky, blanky, teddy, etc.). I really didn't want my son to become attached and dependent on security objects, but my partner had a different experience growing up and found that security objects really helped and comforted her growing up. And so, my son now has "Elmo Blanket" and wants it especially when he is in unfamiliar places and situations. It is that one familiar thing, when everything else is unfamiliar. Make sense?
The start to relate items with good things.
Happiness, positive things. anything that makes them happy or fond memories will usually stick with them for a long time.
Also certain smells make them comfortable and that sticks with them. Hence some toddlers grow up with a blanket. Smelling the blanket or feeling the texture of it gives them comfort.
Curiosity.
well maybe they get attracted to it cause its shinny or just simply because its amusing
It's a form of security and familiarity.
The very first toy could help them remember their memory than others.
