Teddy bears are a symbol of the care free moments of childhood when are greatest concerns were the next play time. We all hold on to our "inner child" that still remains with us. No matter what adult responsibilities that we may have, we all need to have moments of escape. Also, there are children in our lives that are still receiving their quota of teddy bear gifts.
Second, teddy bears remind us of a special person who loved us and brought us a teddy bear. Teddy bears remind us of the joy of being loved. Teddy bears are not a sex symbol….they are a love symbol! They remind us that someone loves us and treasures us. Psychological assessment tests have proven teddy bears have a positive effect on people's emotions.

    As a child, I loved crawling into bed while my mother or father read me a bedtime story. There were shelves of books all around my room, and my favorite collection was located closest to my bed, my Winnie the Pooh book series.
