The article discusses a parent's concern about using multiple identical stuffed animals (loveys) for their child, fearing that differences might cause confusion or trust issues. The advice suggests that young children are generally unbothered by these variations, as they find magic in parental explanations. However, as children grow, their observational skills improve, meaning it may be wise to eventually transition to one beloved lovey to avoid any potential crises as they become more aware of discrepancies.
When our children are young, they believe we can do anything, and so things that might seem implausible to us are perfectly believable to a young child.
Beware, though, that as your child gets older, his powers of observation will sharpen, and the "injuries" to the lovey may also grow in severity or permanence.
