NOTE FOR PARENTS AND CARERS


Choose a quiet time to open up the worry box with
children and look at what is inside. Ask if they are
still worried. Talk about why they are worried, then
put the ‘worry’ back in the box if you can’t solve it
completely. If the worry has gone away, they can rip
up the piece of paper.
