I don't allow anything like that to be carried around.... No stuffies, blankets, soothers.... Nothing .... It stays tucked away till naptime ..... I actually have it in my policy book that children may bring a comfort item for nap tine but it remains tuck away till such time .
It's a habit and I would ask mon to put it in a bag so it's hidden and he can have it at naptime but it's becoming a hazard cause other children are tripping over it not to mention dragging it around outside and then it comes inside to track dirt inside your house . Or just have one to keep at your house and tell mom not to bring it anymore .
