Children handling your dolls?

Well my little sister is 3 (At least i think she's three...) And she's alowed to look but not touch. Unless I want to take pictures with her and the doll's for my shool projects.

I wouldent let most kid's touch them let alone my cousins!

 

I only let people at doll meets touch them and my mom. A little child most likely never.

 

The kids that I know...? I wouldn't let them touch my babies. I mean...their OWN dolls are practically torn apart, what would happen to mine?
Though I did let the little girl who is 3-years-old across the street come see Adriel (DZ FEI). She was nice but as if he had a target on his face she wanted to touch his face-up which was freshly done. That was a big "NO". I told her that she couldn't touch him because he was special to me and breakable.
She seemed to understand this, I taught her about the, "always ask first" rule when I babysat her. I would ask her if I could play with her toys lol, sometimes she said yes, sometimes she said no. But you know three-year-olds...no is their favorite word.
I told her later that it was the same thing for my stuff, she needed to ask. I let her hold him for a while but she started to get a bit fidgity after a while so I took him back.
My recommendation, try not to let children you don't know handle your dolls, you don't know about their habits and respect level. Maybe if you knew the child and trusted them, but I'd have your hands ready just in case.

 

i have alot of cousins almost of them older than me... and some almost as old as my mom! and they all have little kids... around 6 months-13 or so... and i don t trust any of them with any of my stuff! i ve seen the stuff they've done to their toys, dvds, cds, video games/consoles/controllers, computer, books... and i was like *shudders* omg... that reminded me of my cousin's computer O.M.G.! it was so disgusting! [no details... i swear if i say any it will make you sick for days ]

 

I spose I come from a house where people respect eachother's property, for the most part, and they understand the value of...our valuables

 

i let a little girl who was about two handle London at the bus station during my three-hour layover... she was mostly good about it, like not touching her face, but nearly gave me a heart attack several times. her mother could tell how nervous i was with her daughter holding my doll. there was one instance that she almost didn't want to give her back, which frazzled me. xP

usually if i feel i can trust kids and/or their parents are nearby, i'll let them hold my doll... but i'll get antsy and nervous about it. ^^;

 

no, never, no way in heck I don't even let most teens or adults handle my dolls. most people are just too oblivious and not at all careful. When I took my girl to school because my art teacher had asked, I had so many people (teachers included!) just reach out and try to rub her face or pull at her hair. So children... absolutely not. They fidget, they have lord-knows-what on their hands, they drool... i'm not fond of children in the first place, and would never let them near my dolls.

 

I've let children hold my MSD and Tiny if they ask, but not my bigger boys mostly because they're heavyier. If they're sitting I'll let them touch and pose their arms and such as long as I'm standing nearby. So far kids have been pretty respectful and well behaved, though at the last meet one little girl just trotted over and grabbed Lae'el's hand off the table while I was changing his bracelets. She was promptly scolded by her mother and had her apologize for not asking first.

I do plan on taking one of my boys to my relatives house for their christmas party and I think they'll be safe as long as I hold on to them; the kids are kinda bratty but not the kind to grab and pull.

 

When I get my boy I don't think I'll feel happy letting adults touch him, so kids are a definite no. They're sticky, have poor motor skills, do not always understand instructions, are unpredictable... the very idea is terrifying!

 

I have 50+ cousins about 40+ younger than me, and I would not, I repeat, NOT let them touch my doll... EVER! My cousins are all crazy, and wild and well... lets just say bad things would happen if my doll ends up damaged.

 

They are the cutest photos! Think I might get out side with my squishy kids and the resin ones for a few happy snaps now! thanks for sharing

 

Not ever. I don't think I (or the child) need the angst when the inevitable accident happens.

 

My daughters handle my dolls all the time and have learned to be respectful and careful. Although....with my Baha Kitty, it's constantly like "Where's Aengus now?!?" around here...he is always turning up in new and different places and poses! That's actually fun because it's almost as if he's moving around all on his own

 

I only have a head right now... ^^;;;;; But I would not let ANY kid touch my BJD. This is sort of biased because practically the only kid I know that is over the age of 5 is a terror. She's my friend's little sister, and all for her gorgeous dollie looks (I swear she looks EXACTLY like a Honey Delf Pudding, she's that cute) she's spoiled and has way too much energy for her own good. DX I swear. Every time I meet her, even for 10 minutes, I just shut myself inside my room and take a nap.

So. I can't imagine her holding my BJD. Which tends to mean at the moment, I can't imagine ANY kid touching my BJD, either. Oh well. T_T I'm not a kid person. I do much better with people my age or older.

 

Thanks for enjoying! just make sure your squishy kids know that they're hands need to be clean and that they can touch only their hands and feet, Victoria is not allowwed to touch the head or allowwed to pose them but she can touch hands and feet... thats actually how we taught her how to count to 10, trying to get her to 20 ^.^

 

I've never had my dolls around any kids (the youngest that's helt my dolls is 13) but I'd need to make sure they were careful enough to not damage my boys in any way.

I had Lucien with me at the mall one day, and set him down on the counter so I could grab my wallet, and as I was paying, a little girl came up and started playing with his hands. She was really careful, and after a minute or two ran off, so it didn't bother me. ^^;

Though I've had some of my friends (even after saying "don't touch the face!") rub their eyes or their lips ("Ooh, shiny" *rubrub*) so I watch them now if they hold my dolls. ^^;

 

The only kids I've ever let touch my doll was my sister's friends' little 3 year old girl. And it was the worste mistake...it was the WEEK Itsume showed up and of course Itsume being the only girly doll Madison HAD to go after the one in the dress....she ended up dropping her on the cement outside and scuffing and chipping her knee and toes T__T

 

I usually only let my kids touch my dolls after a thorough cleaning. Being typical Aussie boys they are pretty grotty any other time! another score up for resin kids I guess!

 

I have a 2 year old little sister who is absolutely fascinated by my dolls shoes. She's always touching their shoes when i leave them around so i make sure not to stand them up seeing as she's knocked them over before.

I make sure not to let children touch them though, i don't mind her touching the shoes (though she has stolen them before) but i wouldn't let her touch the doll. Most kids who visit my house are scared of them anyway.

 

I have let children hold both my current dolls.
It has always amazed me how they will be so very careful like it's a little person they are holding, least all the ones I've let hold them smile.
I have a DoD Too and a Obitsu Gretel and I have no problems with it whatsoever as it seems to make the child so very happy that I trusted them with the doll.
