Car accidents, fires, and any other kind of accident can really make a child feel vulnerable. Having a Teddy Bear to snuggle can calm them easier than anything that could be said by adults.

Addie the one sleeping in the car seat has her CoCo in her bed waiting for her every night. Lauren the elder, is quickly growing out of her bear, yet he was the one she had with her through all her traumas.

The differences between bears that are hinged, static and so much more.

A big Teddy bear was the first gift I remember buying for our daughter's first Christmas. The bear was bigger than she was, but she loved that bear (and still does). btw, I prefer the name your granddaughter gave her bear! CoCo is so much better than Philbin.

I didn't let go of my beloved stuffed bears until I was nearly 50, when I gave them to some kids who needed them much more than I did. The very, very tiny bears (one is less than 1/2" tall) that my late mother gave me still have a special place of honor on display in my living room.

He called him simply 'teddy bear' and he went everywhere with him. My son, Christopher (named for Christopher Robin from Winnie-the-Pooh) seemed to naturally know that a teddy was exactly the companion for him.
