I would say the exact opposite. It’s the parents guiding them as they age as well as maturity that breaks those emotional connections.
How many adults save their childhood teddy bear through adulthood due to emotional connection? Adults who have spouses and pets and children still have an emotional connection to some cotton (even if they know it’s not living).
A child given lambda is probably going to be really engrossed even if it knows it’s a computer.
