Relations between children's attachments to their mothers and to security blankets
Article Abstract:
Blanket-attached, maternally avoidant children may have relied on blankets as support to ease distress during separation. The result of a study conducted in this regard reveals that although avoidantly attached children are conflicted during separation from their mother, they appear better able than securely attached children to use inanimate objects to remedy their discomfort.
