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*
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.
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.

Date: 2009-02-25 08:13 pm (UTC)But honestly, I'd say around 7/8. And boys probably stop before girls.
