Book - ‘I have a Worry’ was written to help build a child’s skill set when considering a worry. The little purple worry allows the children to think about their problem using a concrete tool. They are then able to ‘give’ this worry to someone else for some time, empowering the child as to whether they will allow the worry to control them or not.
The feelings in this book have been shared by the children author Tanya Balcke has worked with over time. These are their descriptions of how some worries make them feel. A beautiful story that begins to share strategies about how children can handle worries when they sit on their shoulder.
Some parent and teacher notes are included in the back of the book.
Also available My Pet Worry, which is the sequel to this book, and the supporting I Have a Worry Colouring-in Book.
