Everybody gets scared sometimes. Maybe it was a noise in the dark, or perhaps something jumped out in front of you, but either way the situation can be helped friend to comfort and help us. But the matter how scared or anxious you might be you’ll never know what it feels like to be a child with cancer.

Medscape found that children with cancer underreported their levels of stress and anxiety. Even though they are sick and scared these kids do want to try to protect people around them. Sometimes you just need to be vulnerable in front of someone, and teddy bear is a really great tool for that.
