At what age should a child stop carrying a woobie?

Question

(Yahoo Spell Checker recommended I spell woobie as 'woodie'. That would change the entire dynamic of the question...)

Answer 1

what are they? dummies?

Answer 2

If we take Linus as an example, never!!

Answer 3

HAHAHAHA...Indeed it would...Good Morning FD!

Answer 4

actually for once Yahoo got it right.

i much prefer woodies over woobies

Answer 5

A woobie meaning a security item like a blanket or a stuffed animal?

Well, this is a personal choice as a parent, really, but for my family:

I think it's fine to let them run around with it all they want at any age--if it makes them feel secure then it's all good.

I don't think they are ever too old to stop sleeping with them.

I don't think they should take them to school...ever.

I don't think they should take them out of the house after 3 and a half.

That said, I don't think badly of children I see dragging something after them in the grocery store. They aren't my kid so I don't care!

Answer 6

Are we talking blankie or passyfier.

My eldest got rid of hers around 4-5. (woobie)

My four year old still has hers. (woobie)

MY husband....well he still has his regularly (woodie)

Answer 7

What is a woobie? And a woodie for that matter?

Answer 8

lol...never too old for a woodie, I always say!

I took my daughters away at 3, plus it was torn to pieces!

Answer 9

What exactly is that?

Answer 10

My son carried his until he started Pre-K at 3.  Then, he only had it at night.  He still has it to this day and he's 7 1/2.  

I guess it depends on your child.

Good luck!
