A Lost Teddy
What can you do if your child has lost his or her teddy bear? Replacing their old beloved bear can’t be that easy. Children cannot be fooled if a new bear is suddenly there when they know the old one so well. The best thing to do is to call the store or other place where you can remember your child having the teddy bear. If your child is too upset, perhaps it would be best to go shopping for a new bear, explaining that more care needs to be taken with a new bear so it won’t be lost like the old one. Most children will be accepting of this, but there may be a child who won’t be too happy. Hopefully someone will turn the bear into the lost and found so child and bear can be reunited. Letting the child pick out a new bear will make that bear special. It’s best not to make a big deal of the child losing the bear. It’s like losing your best friend. Hugs and reassurance that another teddy can be had will make things better.
