So cute.. but is it bad?

acidic_liquid · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 14, 05

When my 2 year old nephew comes over, he plays with my teddy bear. I'm not sure if he thinks it's real, or if he's playing along, but sometimes, he'll "talk" to it, even put it to sleep at one time and tuck it in.

Cute.. but is it bad for his development?

lol its called an imagination. Sometimes kids like to do things like that.

I think its totaly appropriate! Roll palying/imagination is deffinently a part of child developement. I actualy have to teach children with autism how to play and use their imagination as its a skill they dont develope well.
Highly incurage it! It's a way for a child to use their imagination, learn roll playing skills, and maybe help teach them how to be a good parent ;)
Now maybe when they are 10-13 and still talking to it and making a stuff toy their best friend... then i would worry :P

thats awsome...

most kids dont have an imagination.. and since he does.. let him have it for as long as he can...

I'd be more worried if he WASN'T doing things like that.

uhh wtf, kids play with dolls (barbies, or GI joes, whatever, lego, etc.) and 'roleplay' all the time. totally normal.

wum · #14 (**permalink**) Feb 14, 05

i'd worry about him tucking the bear in.

...seems a bit homo.

lildonkey · #15 (**permalink**) Feb 14, 05

its BAD... shoot the teddy bear in the back of the head infront him so he knows to kill things that are cute... you don't want him to to turn homosexual do you??

Damn, if a Kid did that to me with my keychain it'd fuck me up. My Keychain is loaded to the scuppers.

Oh it didn't hit me. I've got more keychains than keys in that key ring. I dodged it with my superior agility (or his bad aim). If it hit me, it would've left a mark.

Just go with the agility one... then wear a Cape. He'll think you're a Superhero. :)

I am!!

I mean...

*puts on thick rimmed glasses*

Only_Glory · #24 (**permalink**) Feb 14, 05

actually capes make you less agile
since agility is one of my main skills i would know this.
lose the cape, get the tights

acidic_liquid · #25 (**permalink**) Feb 14, 05

I am NOT a superhero!! There is no secret identity. I don't have any superhuman abilities that lets me dodge incoming projectiles or seduce whoever I want to.

I'm good ol' normally normal Erwin.
