The message behind the Forbear The Bear™ brand is to communicate the difference between forgiveness and forbearance, as mentioned on our website product description and the free downloadable product PDF booklet.

But the purpose of our teddy bears and the stylized bear head logo printed on teddy bear and forbear shirts represents the flaws, imperfections and shortcomings of all humanity. This is why the bear head logo is represented imperfectly with lines imperfectly drawn and formed. Forbear The Bear™ reminds us to forbear in our interpersonal relationships, especially in our family relationships. Reminding us, we need to be forbearing with one another since we all share in these imperfections though different from person to person. By taking this to heart, we can have loving and successful family relationships.
