The Importance of Woobies

By , November 23, 2011 8:27 am

People are attached to their baby blankets and you can’t argue with emotion. But here is some scientific research supporting the emotional benefits of having a woobie. “Studies have shown that children who are attached to security blankets are securely attached to their mothers and psychologically healthy,” says Dr. Julie Lumeng, of the University of Michigan’s Center for Human Growth and Development in Ann Arbor, Mich. “The same studies show that when these children are in stressful or new situations – for example a new playgroup, preschool, going to the doctor’s office, a babysitter – that if they have a security blanket they are much better able to keep themselves calm than children who do not have such an object. These children are actually better able to socialize, to learn and to regulate their emotions when they have a security blanket.” Powerful.
