    ANXIETY HELPER (KEEP WORRIES IN CHECK)

    Worry Box | by Jeff Warren | for 6-10 year olds | length 12:54 ©

    Sometimes our worries get stuck, and its like they are racing around and around in our heads like crazy chickens and we don't know how to get these worry chickens out! In this adventure, we get creative, and send our worries down into our magic drawing fingers, and then all the way onto the floor. Then we go "OH YEAH" as we peel each worry up like a dirty sock - or maybe a banana peel - and drop them one by one into a special Worry Box. And then we go on more adventures in our imagination, because imagination is the best.  Eventually we give all our worries to the Worry Master, who loves worries and likes to safe-keep them. A really fun way to feel better. 

    Helps build: ability to cope, space around worries and extreme anxieties.

    ANXIETY HELPER (GET SPACE FROM WORRIES)

    Space Suit | by Jeff Warren | for 6-10 year olds | length 14:15 ©

    Do you ever get so worried about stuff that you became a freakout worry freakazoid? I know I do. When this happens, one cool trick is to use our imaginations and climb into a big puffy space suit and then float up to the ceiling and into the sky. When we get space like this, our worries get less strong. We can see how everyone else also has worries and feels different emotions. Our worries become a way for us to feel more connected to people, and that feels really nice. When this happens, our worries may actually begin to shrink. We feel more room inside and can open our arms W-I-D-E, W-I-D-E, W-I-D-E! Try it out! 

    Helps build: ability to cope, space around worries and extreme anxieties.
