Howto bind objects to eachother

Question

Hi,
let's say I have two classes, Children and Toys and now I wonder how to bind a toy to a child. A child can have many toys but a toy can only have one owner.
class Children{
String name;
int age;
class Toys{
String name;
String desc;
What I can think of is that either creating an ArrayList or something in the childrens class that stores the toyobjects or maybe a reference to a toyobject with a unique identifier (database thinking) or should i have a attribute in the toys class like an owner or something that binds the toy to a child.
This is pretty simplified but just so I can get a hang of it.

Answer 1

Ok,
so if I understand you right I will add a list to the childclass, and it will be something like this:
class Children{
String name;
int age;
ArrayList <Toys> [] toys;
//store all childobjets
ArrayList <Children> [] childs = new ArrayList<Children>();
public Children(String Name, int Age){
name=Name;
age = Age;
toys = new ArrayList<Toys>();
public addChild(Children child){
childs.add(child);
class Toys{
String name;
String desc;
public Toys(String Name, String Desc){
name=Name;
desc=desc;
and then I create some more methods to set and get and a method to add a toy to the child object.
