In "The Giver," the term "replacement of child" refers to the practice of assigning a new child to a family unit after their original child has been released from the community. These replacement children are chosen by the community leaders and are meant to fill the void left by the loss of the previous child.
Lily plans to use her knowledge of new children to help their families adjust and provide support as they navigate the challenges of adapting to a new family member. She also hopes to create meaningful connections with the children and help them feel welcomed and integrated into the community.
In "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the new child's comfort object was a stuffed elephant named Gabe. This object provided the child with comfort and security in the unfamiliar environment of the community.
