BRING YOUR TEDDY BEAR TO WORK

BRING YOUR TEDDY BEAR TO WORK

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) – Can you imagine a hard-nosed business executive clutching on to a teddy bear at the office? That’s what will be going on Wednesday (Oct. 10) as part of “Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day.” Susan E. Schwartz, the creator of the event, expects more workers than ever will participate this year thanks to the recent terrorist tragedy. Schwartz says adults need teddy bears just as much as kids because they offer comfort, release stress and are good friends to confess your fears. She admits she talks to her own teddy bear regularly when she’s having problems and says the stuffed animals are a “universal salve” that can help anyone struggling with fears at this time.
