The Worry Owl is a cute character that children can tell their worries to in their journal by writing a note to them on a structured daily entry double page.
STEP 1
Your child will take their worry from their minds and place it in the first box (which in itself is a powerful strategy!) before bedtime.
STEP 2
Your child will colour or circle a worry scale to show the extent of their worry.
STEP 3
The Worry Owl asks them to think about what their worry is trying to protect them from, as well as encouraging them to question the worry with a positive outcome.
The structure has been designed to support your child to process their worry and implement anxiety management strategies as they write.
STEP 4
Finally there is space for the Worry Owl to reply with some helpful advice or support whilst your child sleeps!
We suggest your child leaves the journal by their bedside with their bookmark inside to signal it's been written in, so the Worry Owl (a.k.a YOU!) can reply overnight.
