They want to be clean, warm and loved and then, sometimes, they STILL cry, it's what they do, no need for all the drama. I worry about parents who impose dependency on a toy, I've seen them do it, NO idea why they would want to do that. He/she can't sleep without it etc - it's simply not true until the child learns that it must be true from the parent. I want my children to be dependent on me not a stuffed toy but I want them to be independent too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-89323818908966948342015-10-07T03:49:42.892-04:002015-10-07T03:49:42.892-04:00As my Pappy used to say, "You stop that or I&...As my Pappy used to say, "You stop that or I'll give you something to cry about." <br />Curiously enough, I never wanted to find out what that "something" was.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-41026231099884327972015-10-07T02:58:36.365-04:002015-10-07T02:58:36.365-04:00If that was the back-up Pookey, why isn't the ...If that was the back-up Pookey, why isn't the first Pookey already washed and drying?<br />Foolish parents; just hand the child a different stuffed toy.
