Project Linus
makes security blankets for kids who are "seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need". Security blankets are a good thing.
The wiki article claims the Peanuts comic strip is the origin of the term "security blanket", and at least some sites agree, I wouldn't have thought it was that recent of a term (1958? Maybe?)
towel, blanket. Good luck, kid!
