Loved your poem Sylvia! ........100

Unfortunately, all do not understand the attachment to dolls. The present generation is more into electronic gadgets.

little girls who love dolls attach a lot of emotion with them. They talk to to their dolls and share all their secrets with them. It is an essential part of growing up.

Dearest Sylvia, this is such a sentimental poem. I can understand how you felt when you saw your dolls torn and tattered.

A marvelous poem so wonderfully narrated. A great remembrance from a wonderful mother.

I can understand the feelings of the great Poetess. As a keeper, we like to see our things to be in their great shape still. However, some children are different in the manner they play with their toys.

This wonderful poem makes us remember of our childhood days. I have a home made dolls too and some other kinds made of plastic. I used to keep the good ones as my collections. As I grow older, I donated them to my cousin's children and godchildren.

This doll is so cute and reminds me of my childhood days.We also used to make dolls from old clothes and it was a favourite pastime

Children differ in their approach to dolls and toys.My elder son never kept any toy intact.He breaks it first and then tries to find how it works.He tries to join the parts together to make it work.Now he is a software engineer in a reputed company.I think his inquisitiveness led him to do so.

I can understand your sentiments when you saw your precious dolls turned into rags, because those were associated with your mother

To Robert Thank you for your precious feedback.

To Freeyad Ibrahim thank you so much for your precious feedback. That case about -last doll then comes the first child, I had not thought out that far, the doll was just a play-tool for me, I never played 'the mum'

To David Wood: If you never have toys, I do think that's according to the child normal. Indeed, David. Thank you for your response

"The doll is one of the most pressing needs and at the same time one of the most charming instincts of female childhood. […] The first child continues the last doll. A little girl without a doll is about as unhappy and just as impossible as a woman without a child. (Victor Hugo)

As a child I didn't have toys and until my teens I thought that normal!
