My cousin and her blankie

Okay so my cousin is 11 and she still sucks on her blankie is this nomal?

Answer #1

It’s time she says ‘Goodbye’ to blankie…Take care !!

Answer #2

ahahaha… I have a friend that’s 17, and HE has a blankie… and sleeps with it too!! ahahaha… he can’t sleep without it!! - but he dosen’t suck on it!!… ahahaha… or did you mean your cousin sucks her thumb and sleeps with a blankie?

Answer #3

If she does it in front of people, it’s serious. If she does it at night when no one else can see, yes, it’s time to say ‘bye-bye blankie’, but it’s not quite so serious! Has her mum tried to ‘loose’ it yet? Sometimes older kids can handle it quite well when a childhood comforter gets ‘lost’.

Answer #4

Whoa. That’s pretty irregular. I mean I know that most kids have like a favorite object… But to have a Blankie? And to suck on it as well? No offense. That’s strange.

Answer #5

I dont think…a lot of people say its cause insecerity over something…it makes them feel safe I think. ..even if its something little…dont know if that helped

Answer #6

She sucks on it!! EEWW. I wouldn’t say sucking on it is normal, but sleeping with it is. My niece has her blankie still. She’s 16. I don’t ever recall a time that she sucked on it though! LOL

Answer #7

Lets but talk to her and tell it both that she are sleep with her blankie.

Answer #8

insecure, in my opinion, dont give her a hard time about it tho…

Answer #9

it will be a while before she lets that go

Answer #10

It is a security thing, but to suck on it at age 11? You’d think she would put it in her mouth and say eeewww!!!

Answer #11

Does she suck on it in front of people? That has got to stop!
