[QUOTE="Star*, post: 101461, member: 4964"] Welcome Alaska - My son (now 17) used to do that exact same thing. If we watched a dinosaur movie - he ran and got all his dinos, blanket with dinos, stuffed dinos, and spread them out in front of the TV - and shared the moment with all them. If it were a show about dump trucks - the dump truck was there. The dump truck went to the beach, it went to the store - it went everywhere. For a while it was a stuffed puppy. He always had to have something from home with him until he was about - 9 maybe. Then he got into riding bikes with some of the neighborhood kids and it stopped. For my son it was a sense of security - he went to camp and someone stole his blanket, pillow and stuffed puppy when he was 8 and he could not cope. I had to send a pillow from home, and a replacement puppy. I likened it to a pacifier. I really didn't mind - actually it kept him occupied on long trips if he packed his own knapsack - he would fill it with crayons, coloring books, little toy cars - he was great on long trips as he amused himself. At 7 - I wouldn't put too much thought into it. I agree with the poster that said there may be some separation anxieties. IF it persists and really bothers you I'd take it up with a psychologist. Mostly he sounds like a sweet 7 year old to me. Welcome to the board - Star [/QUOTE]
