Although we'd all like to idealize childhood as fabulously worry-free, that's really not the case. There's plenty to keep a kid wrinkling his brow with anxiety, from bullies on the playground to spelling tests to lousy lunches. Let me repeat: childhood is NOT a worry-free zone.
However, as we adults know from our many forays into therapy of all kinds, voicing and articulating our fears and concerns helps take the bite out of them. Here's a gift to help children do the same (because, honestly, they're way too young for shrinks). This Worry Woolie Notebook acts as a fuzzy repository for all those worries banging around in their young brains. They can scribble them down, draw pictures, write lists, plan coping scenarios, and face those fears in black and white (or purple ink, whatever). Plus, the Woolie's just so cute; he's bound to put a smile on any kid's face, no matter how heavily the weight of the world rests on her small shoulders.
Order this sunny friend at www.etsy.com. It'll make your little worrywart forget his troubles.
