Security Blankets – Friend or Foe?

There are certainly a number of different opinions out there about security blankets.  Some parents will swear by them and say that a blanket becomes a comforting friend for their child.  Other parents fear that a child may become too connected to a security blanket and will have a hard time weaning off.  Both views are certainly possible.  Here is an article from Science Daily that speaks a bit more about the pyschology of security blankets. 

In our opinion, security blankets are a great item for babies (shameless plug), but just like anything else, they can become a problem.  If a child finds comfort and avoidance from fear with a blanket friend, that can be a good thing.  But as a parent, you need to monitor this closely and do a good job of parenting.  A child can really get attached to anything and trust can be placed in the wrong object.  It is the parents job, though a difficult one, to help train the child in where their real protection and trust comes from.
