I asked and humans said YES. They wants my teddy bear parenting tips! So here they are...

1. Make your human cubs feel special. If they lets you cuddle them, cuddle them softly.

And say, "You're my special cubby!" Or if ya got multiple cubs, say "You're my special Fido" or whatever u humans name yer cubs...

2. Lead by example. My cubby Indie wuz scared to go into the washing machine. So I said, "Daddy can go in with you. Daddy will hold you."

If he didn't like that he could get handwashed by the human. But cuz I offered, now he luvs the washing machine...

3. Luv your cub for who they are!

They could be sewed any way. By hand. By a factory. But their sewing doesn't make them! Their SOUL makes them.

Let them be themselves. Maybe they're a different gender than u thought or subculture or they're disabled. Accept and luv...

I'm not a perfect daddy. Sometimes I have cuddled Indie without asking fer permission first. Sometimes I pay too much attention to my human or the other plushies and not enough attention on him.

But I always try my best!
