DCB has been out sick and today he is back. Also, mom and dad are leaving for a few days so he's pretty emotional. All of his things for the next few days are in my foyer and with it are his blankies, which he knows. I gave him one of my blankets in the playroom to distract him. Now not only is he still crying for his blanket, he is crying at anyone who even touches the one I handed him this morning.
i know I should just take it away but I know he's missing mom and dad and is probably not 100% yet.

Aw, poor little guy. Maybe put the one of yours away for a day?

I would let him have it for today. Things are weird, mama and papa are leaving, his things are in the hall and his blankie is closer than usual, not to mention having just been sick...normalcy can resume tomorrow.

This is what I would do, too.

Depending on the age of the child, I would try to explain that they are just borrowing the daycare blanket and that the other children are used to having it in the play room so they assume they are able to play with it.
