My son is 8 years old and has about 6 stuffed animals that he sleeps with every night. Some he has won playing the claw machine at the store, another he made at Build-A-Bear several years ago, etc. I don't think it's an issue but my husband says an 8 year old boy is too old to be sleeping with anything. He just doesn't think that he's tough enough in general and this is probably one of the things that bothers him the most. Our son plays baseball and basketball, loves to roughhouse, get dirty, play videogames, do karate and wrestle but he is also very loving, loves to sing and play music and yes he loves his stuffed animals. I think it's a good thing that he's a combination of rough and tumble and loving and sweet but my husband feels that he is too different from other boys his age and just isn't "boy" enough. I just want to get some perspective to see if maybe I am the one that is wrong. I just don't think that every boy has to be tough as nails to be a healthy, normal boy.
