  • Title: Maternal beliefs about children's attachments to soft objects.
    Author: Lehman EB, Arnold BE, Reeves SL, Steier A.
    Journal: Am J Orthopsychiatry; 1996 Jul; 66(3):427-36. PubMed ID: 8827266.
    Abstract:
    Maternal practices, attitudes, and beliefs about children's attachments to soft objects were investigated via questionnaires and interviews completed by mothers of 58 children with such attachments, present or previous, and of 24 children who had never been thus attached. Mothers in the former group were generally more accurate and positive about the attachments and the characteristics of children with them than were mothers in the latter group. The role of parents in the development of soft-object attachments is discussed.
