Delivering holiday cheer to kids year-round, the interactive affirmation bear guides them to achieve their goals while instilling a strong belief in themselves.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Believe a Buddy introduces Winston, the interactive affirmation bear, ready to empower and motivate children to achieve their goals and most importantly, instill a strong belief in their abilities. The lovable companion reminds kids how amazing they are, encouraging them to have self-esteem, build resilience and foster a growth mindset.
"What a wonderful gift to share this holiday, uncovering the inherent beauty, intelligence, talents and skills in this young and vulnerable demographic," said Founder Cat Kozuch. Who wouldn't have appreciated a confidence boost when we were kids? Now, think about the impact on today's children navigating the challenges of social media and bullying.
"Winston lovingly gives children a vote of confidence from a loving pal who boosts their self-image and offers them a welcome nudge to try hard things. The accompanying affirmation cards can be pulled daily in the house before the kids go off to school, in the classroom, in a hospital setting or anywhere a child may be."
Winston comes with 52 affirmation cards for ages 3+, inspiring children to wake up and start their day with intention. The cuddly bear features a plush heart pouch that holds the affirmation cards, perpetually positioned arms for constant hugs, stars on the paws symbolizing the magic of affirmations, and a heart of gold at the center of the belly to remind children of the power of self-belief.
Kozuch has never shied away from life's difficulties. Her personal experience led to the founding of Believe a Buddy. In 2008, she was paralyzed in an accident and doctors told her she would never walk again. Instead of believing in her daunting diagnosis, she wrote an affirmation on her hospital whiteboard that stated, "Cat will walk out of here!...duh!"
During her three-month hospital stay, her father gave her a new teddy bear each time he traveled for work. The collection was pinned around the whiteboard affirmation. Finally, after weeks of speaking her affirmation out loud, a miracle happened - Cat walked out of the hospital. Through determination and visualization, she turned her recovery journey into a meaningful mission to motivate children. The seed was planted and what has blossomed is a brand centered on love, mindfulness and positivity.
Eighteen years later, Cat would launch the purposeful brand Believe a Buddy. Through the Receive a Buddy donation program, children with medical disabilities receive a Believe a Buddy.
Winston is priced at $62. For more information and to receive a donation, visit http://www.believeabuddy.com.
