Description

Simply create some kind of worry monster. My friend Kelly’s daughter made one that looked like this: Worry and anxiety has a big negative impact on sleep, and so helping children to relax slightly before bedtime is important. It is probably the most crucial time of the day to alleviate worry.

To start, I ask students to imagine what their worry would look like if it were a real-life monster. We talk about how imagining what the worry looks like is a starting point for talking to the worry. This might sound silly to some students, but I explain that when we can talk to our worries, we can tell them they’re wrong or that we want them to leave! I teach students to say, “I don’t have to listen to you, Worry Wilbert (or whatever name they’ve chosen),” or “You’re not welcome here, Worry Wilma.” A great book to review this process is Worry Says What? by Allison Edwards. Constructing the Worry Monster You may well have heard of worry monsters – but have you heard about the many ways you can use them? I saw someone convert a simple basket into a worry monster. All they did was to paint some teeth around the upper rim of the wooden basket. This made it look as if a monster had its mouth open wide to the ceiling. Worry monsters are so simple to make, and have such a wide range of benefits. Of course there is no way to completely eliminate worry, but there has been research into the impact of strategies used in early life. ( Source)

GO TO KS1 HUB Showing You Care and Understand - Simply taking an interest and talking to your child will allow them to feel comfortable opening up to you. Let the children explore the concept in both adult-led, and child-led contexts. 11. Worry Monster Basket Then take all the found food and store it in some ceremonial place, e.g. a basket or box, where it can be ready for next time you use the worry monster. Worry Monsters are used to help children who have suffered from abuse, neglect, or other serious problems, to resolve their worries, and they're very popular with children.

It can be helpful to team up with your child against the worry monster and come up with ways of responding to it. The phrases below might help make the worry monster appear smaller and less powerful: Use examples of kids who may be mean or bossy at school to illustrate the idea of the worry monster in their head. Just as you would walk away from the bully at school, and not listen to them, you do not have to listen to the one in your head. Naming the Worry Monster

We’ll share a tutorial for a fun monster worry box in the next section, but let’s be clear, this technique is equally effective with any box you may have lying around in the house.

The children, at least when they get good at it, will each say a worry, and then place an object into the worry monster’s mouth.
