My child is two years old and likes to play with sticks. He holds them when he sleeps. What should I do?

First of all, it should be affirmed that this is not a good habit, but this phenomenon is not without reason. Children, like adults, have social needs and are eager to have their own partners, especially the children's small partners, rather than the adults who live beside him and take care of him in every possible way. But in some families, parents are always afraid that their children will be in unpredictable danger outside because of their strong love and concern for their children. So they are worried and scared, and finally they simply keep their children at home and try to be their partners. In fact, this practice is not feasible. When children feel lonely without partners, the flame of social interaction burns in their hearts, and they will regard things that cannot be friends, such as pillows, dolls and towels, as imaginary friends. They also chat with these friends, feed them and ask them questions, as if there were such children in their lives. Even some children, once they lose these dependencies, don't eat or sleep, make a scene and have abnormal emotions. So that parents can do nothing, so they have to return things to them in order to be calm.

If we understand the reasons for this situation, we should make the best use of the situation to realize the normal psychological development characteristics of children-the desire for social interaction. Of course, with the increasing number of only children, it is often difficult to find their own small partners in a family, so the best way for parents to create conditions for their children is to send them to kindergarten. Kindergarten is a child's world, where he can have many peers. Of course, a child who is used to being alone in the family, although he has a strong desire to communicate, often can't adapt when he first arrives at kindergarten because he is self-centered and doesn't understand others. This requires a process of getting used to it. It is best to let children accumulate some experience before entering kindergarten, that is to say, parents should let their children get in touch with the children of neighbors and friends early. You may notice that when children come into contact with children of their own age, their inner joy is beyond words.

If a child has many friends, he will naturally give up his imaginary "friends" in loneliness and devote himself to the lively and interesting world of children. At this time, their inner social flame can be fully burned.

In addition, some children will sleep with dolls, small toys, towels and so on. Most of them are bad sleep habits formed around 1 year. Therefore, parents should pay attention to cultivating children's good sleep habits from an early age, and don't let children bring toys and other items to bed.
