WHAT IF WORRY WAS A FRIEND?
Here’s a Sneak Peek at the Printable Worksheets

REAL FAMILIES DOING THE WORK
See the Toolkit in Action
Laura bought The Worry Toolkit after her 4-year-old daughter was stung by a bee last summer while playing outside. Her daughter became so fearful of bees that she would start shaking whenever she needed to go outside. Laura wanted her daughter to enjoy being outside again. Here’s how Laura used the toolkit!

On the first page, her daughter drew out all her emotions as shapes, but to her, worry looked like a bee.

Next, she drew out what made her feel worried. Laura discovered that not only was her daughter fearful of bees, but also of flies, train noises, and fireworks! It became clear why being outside was so difficult!

Laura helped her find the truth behind her worries, and she enjoyed the process of finding two truths for every worry thought.

LIFE CHANGING STORIES
From Real Parents Just Like You

I used your technique for my 6yo who was struggling with worry following an interaction with an older kid at school. With the help of the Worry Table and a few other conversations, support from his teacher and a few other changes, my son was able to get over his worry. Thank you so much for sharing this resource and HOW to have these conversations with our kids.

This has been a game changer in our household. Our second child has extreme anxiety when it comes to bed time and her dad not being in the room. When she starts to get anxious we talk about worry and who's the boss. We can leave her room with way less tantrums and she's been given some tools to relax before bed!

Your toolkit was an absolute game changer for our child! She's a true observer and is extremely empathetic, but always struggled with being in large groups, trying new things and worrying. Your toolkit has been so helpful. We recommend your page and this toolkit to everyone we come across with a child facing similar challenges. Thanks so much for creating such a useful and affordable resource!

l used the worry toolkit before our Hawaii trip last week because my daughter was scared of the plane because it was her first time flying since she was 2. I also used it when she was scared of something under her bed. We said together out loud, "I am scared. I am also safe. I choose to think of something else now. Thank you brain”

Doing this mind table exercise with my daughter in the worry toolkit was such a game changer for me too!! She's constantly saying "worry I love you and I don't need you, I'm the boss of my mind." This work is incredible Jess! Thank you!

We love the worry toolkit! My daughter suddenly started having separation anxiety before school and we did the workbook together - her responses and drawings even at 4.5 were so deep!

My very sensitive 5 year old has been having a hard few days lately. I used the worry tool kit to help both of us get to the bottom of it. Turns out she was worried about a virus being in her body because of a show she watched . After doing the toolkit, she was so much happier and you could almost see the weight lifted off of her. It helped my inner child as well being able to give her something I wasn't able to get. Thank you so much!

The mind table and talking about the emotions that live at his table. Drawing them out. Going over and listing/drawing his worries. When he gets worried now, I hear him whisper, 'worry sit down. I am the boss of my mind!'

My daughter had someone throw up in her Pre-K class yesterday, which is a big sensory trigger for her. She was having a hard time last night worrying about it, so l pulled out a couple of pages from the worry toolkit and we worked through it. It is such a treasure to have in my back pocket for when things like this pop up that she needs a little more processing and support with.
