I thought you might find this interesting. I thought it was really good though the first thing that went through my head when they said "furry friend" was a cuddly toy . I often cuddle up with my teddy if I'm feeling stressed even though I'm far to old to have a teddy!
I also have a teddy, which is very dear to me. Recently I've been dealing with a lot of stress. I'm in my school shooting team and we've got a big shoot coming up against the old boys. I normally hit the target, miss, then keep missing more and more and end up crying. Is there any good ways people know to destress subtly without my tangle or my teddy? It would really help to find a way.
Sticks and stones will break your bones, but more often if your dyspraxic!!!
