No, it's not time to separate your toddler from her teddy bear just yet. (Of course, this is from the mother of a 22-year-old who still has her stuffed bunny.) Your little one has bonded with her bear, and forming attachments is important for her emotional development. Attachments give a child working models for all subsequent relationships in life: This is my friend, who comforts me when I am distressed and shares happy moments with me. These relationships provide a secure base that allows your child to explore her environment and gives her a feeling of mastery over her activities and surroundings.
