At what age do you think most children (boys in this instance) stop sleeping with a stuffed toy? I know it varies from child to child but on average?

My son stopped sleeping with stuffed toys at about age 8.

I know I did about the age of 8. For boys...maybe 6/7? I don't think they'd sleep with one any older than that, unless they are of a sensitive disposition... Hope that helps. *hugs*

That's mostly peer pressure, I think - once they start school and have friends back a teddy bear gets embarrassing :p

(I think he'll keep it, somewhere hidden ;) )

I don't understand this question; I still sleep with mine. :p

But honestly, I'd say around 7/8. And boys probably stop before girls.

Hee! I still sleep with mine too, that's why I needed to ask ;)

I stopped sleeping with mine... oh god when I was 14 or so. I still take it wherever I go for when I'm very upset. Wherever I live it goes.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help as I only have nieces and they've never slept with a stuffed toy. However, the oldest one turns nine this year and I think she'd be too old for them but I can imagine the six year old sleeping with one.

Out of the running for answering this for two reasons: I never had any brothers, and I still sleep with a stuffed animal.

I don't have an answer because, at the age of 27 I still sleep with a stuffed animal ... a brown bear in a striped shirt and jeans that's named Clarkbear *g*

I still have the teddy bear my mom bought before I was born sitting next to me in bed. It's older than I am. And yes, I took it with me when I moved out. I also brought some barbie dolls.

Uh, sorry I didn't help your question. Ohai!

Now I think of it, my brother never slept with teddies or anything. Maybe he's making up for it all now by being married to a man? XD

LOL!! Maybe!

My now nine-year-old son still does occasionally. And he sleeps with a "hard" toy (like a car or his R2-D2) even more often.

And last year a then-ten-year-old Cub Scout let me know (discreetly) that he sleeps with a security blanket.

I'm 28, and I sleep with 12 stuffed anteaters. Clearly, I fail at adulthood. :P

*Grinz* I still sleep with my bear, and I'm 23! But it stopped being a necessity when I was about 16 or 17.
