The Huge Bag of Worries

Product Information

At some point, all of us feel both of these emotions. Worry and stress affect people in different ways. Some people may become angry and aggressive; some may find it hard to sleep; others may eat more or less than they need or eat unhealthy foods; some people may spend a long time on computer games or even simply become quiet and stop talking to other people. Just as people have different ways in which stress and worry affect them, they also have different ways of coping with it. The Self-esteem intervention Year Four is for a group of six children and is led by a teaching assistant. It covers emotions, relaxation, calming down…

This My Rainbow Worries Worksheet supports children with breaking down their worry into three chunks: Parents’ main worries can include their children’s behaviour and how they should be disciplining them, having enough money to support them, how peer pressure and bullying affect their children, their self-esteem and exposure to drugs and alcohol. We all want children to grow up in a safe and loving environment and to become happy, confident adults.This is what Enid is doing by talking to each person she meets on her journey. She offloads a telescope and explains how Grandad had said he would look at the stars with her but now he has left her. She offloads a large wooden boat that grandad made with her last summer and she explains how they were going to sail it together. As she removes each item and expresses her feelings to someone her bag feels lighter. Eventually she is left with memories that weigh nothing at all. She knows those memories will always be there. The writing is very descriptive and paints a lovely picture and the illustrations are delightful. I am sure it will help many children suffering from grief.

Talking about their worries and concerns with an adult outside their family means they may be more likely to open up and feel their feelings matter. Being able to write their worries down and leave them there is a skill that will really help children as they develop and generally helps worries to not bubble up into a huge problem. This worries worksheet asks children to write the names of five trusted people on each of their fingers that they feel comfortable talking to about the things in their life that bother them. This worries worksheet aims to show kids that they are not alone and have plenty of support in their life.

There's no telling how long the conversation is going to last, so the first thing to consider is where and when you're going to start it. For example, if you start in the evening when they're tired, your child or children might not be able to concentrate. Offer Solutions - Teach your child how to deal with challenging situations and come up with a solution together. Familiarize yourself with the Bible story in the passage Luke 10.38-42, which is about Jesus visiting the home of Mary and Martha. You can either use the version of the story given in the ‘Assembly’, Step 7, or retell the story in your own words. However it may seem, you are not alone when you worry about things. Statistics suggest that millions of students are affected by school-related stress! If you're talking to just one child about something, consider how private the time and place are.
