Why Do Children Love Soft Toys So Much?
|
At this time it was commonplace for one of our parents to hand us our most beloved and trusted cuddly toy. Soft toys are as much a part of childhood as training wheels on a bike or mittens tied to coat sleeves. Quite simply, they are something all children remember as they grow older. The undoubted familiarity and comforting capabilities of a soft toy mean that they will always stay in your mind and heart long after the day that you were told you were too old to have one anymore. Their presence to a child is positive and reassuring, and anything that makes a child feel better is of great value, even though to others the object in question is worthless. While dolls or action figures may be somewhat more lifelike, the teddy bear, or any other soft toy, feels more personal and friendly to any child. Due to their softness and their floppy arms they are far more huggable than any other toy, and they act in much the same way as a comfort blanket for many children. In fact, look at the most favored childhood toy of anyone now grown up and you are likely to see it a little threadbare due to its use as a comforter. One of the most wonderful things about a cuddly toy is that it is safe enough for a child to have in bed with them as they try to sleep. Having a familiar face next to us as we tried to sleep is something that made being alone in the dark easier to deal with. That they have remained cherished through out the generations, gives little room for argument against soft toys being the number one toy. They have a classic appeal and it be would surely be a mean parent who felt that their child didn't need one. Every child needs one, because every child has tough lessons to learn - lessons that are made that little bit easier by having a reassuring and loving presence beside them throughout.
