Helping children who worry too much
Create a worry bucket
Help them write down their worries and then place them in the bucket. Take the bucket and tip the worries into the rubbish bin! Sometimes it could be helpful for you to tell them you will carry their worries.
Create a happy box
Decorate a box with stickers, beads, glitter or ribbons. Make some colourful cards with happy and inspirational thoughts. Suggest they place the happy box by their bed or somewhere handy so they can be happy when they read a card or two each day.
You are helping them pull out worry weeds and plant happy seeds.
