FAQ About
How do I store Lou?
If you choose to keep Lou’s visits special for times of separation, the box Lou arrived in was designed to be sturdy and for continual use. Some parents even like to keep Lou tucked away in their suitcase. Other parents find that Lou is helpful to have around all of the time and stored with any other toys. It’s up to you!
Is Lou only meant for kids who show signs of separation anxiety?
No, Lou can be used in whatever way best suits your family. Whether that’s to help with a separation event (e.g., travel, sleep-away camp, date night) or to kick-start learning about maps and time tracking!
How do I use Lou if I have multiple kids?
Leaving multiple notes or pieces of candy, trading nights, splitting completion duties for the map and calendar, or simply buying an extra plushie are all options. There’s no one size fits all to match age, emotional need, and preference for each component, so we suggest testing out what works for your situation which has the added benefit of learning more about your kids’ needs and likes.
