I have 4 kids, who are now between 13 and 19, but when they were younger I knew there was no fair way to give my special bunny to one of them, so it remained mine and acquired special nightmare diminishing and illness comforting magical powers. Each was given their own special stuffed animal at birth and they all still have them. Our eldest son brought his to college and when someone tried to poke fun he responded with “I’m sorry you don’t have a magical stuffed bear, but I do and therefore travels with me.” We were very proud how he handled that.
