A parenting mistake
By Kathryn Driffield of Les Petits Anglais
Every parent knows that when your child starts to form an attachment to a particular cuddly toy/stuffed animal/blanket, you rush out and buy two more of the same model as backups. What nobody told us was that you NEVER do ANYTHING to any of the three items to make them different from the others. I allowed my son to persuade me to cut off the labels from his three interchangeable cuddly bears. I realised after I had snipped two of them that he was going to regret this and (and this is where I made my mistake) I didn't cut the label off the third. Result? We have one irreplaceable Label Bear and two unloved Spare Bears. And this is not something i have been able to put right - I sewed labels on the Spare Bears but they are 'not soft enough' so Label Bear continues to reign supreme. As you can see from the picture he did at school of the member of his family who is special to him: "Label Bear is special and he makes me feel better." In summary:
1. if they're exactly the same, keep them exactly the same.
2. conceal from the child, if at all possible, that you possess more than one of the treasured item
3. use them in roatation! |
