That raggedy stuffed animal your kid drags everywhere?

That raggedy stuffed animal your kid drags everywhere? It's actually doing important emotional work. 🧸 Comfort objects give children a reliable anchor when the world feels unpredictable. They support self-regulation, ease transitions, and even nurture early empathy through imaginative play. The worn-out ones are usually the most loved — and the most helpful. Let kids lead when it comes to letting go. 💛
