#worrymonster

We have had some success with a Worry Monster, a furry little fellow with a zipped mouth who eats “worries” at night. If my kids are anxious about something at bedtime, writing or drawing it on bits of paper to feed their Worry Monster helps them understand their feelings and process emotions. Emptying the monster’s belly when they’re asleep lets me know anything that is bothering them.

I am a grown up now... levelled up today! 42 years you and I finally have a worry monster (he likes gin!) #worrymonster #birthdaypresents #pinkmonster #pinkgin #imagrownupnow https://www.instagram.com/p/CRCPevFD8V1/?utm_medium=tumblr

I can not recommend worry monsters enough. They are a great way for your little legs to talk about their worries and be able to manage them. Worry monsters like to eat up worries, tears and sadness. They are a great comforter when your little one has hurt themselves too as they have magic heeling powers too! How I like to use worry monsters is to ask your child to tell you their worries and/ or write them down. Make sure they know they are telling you just so you can write them down for the worry monster to eat. I would suggest writing each worry on a separate piece of paper. When they are all written down- pop them in the worry monsters tummy nom nom nom! The worry monster keeps these worries safe so your child doesn’t need to think about them - they are in a safe place. Every week take some time to go back to the worries and see if there are any that the worry monster needs to keep or whether he can spit them out! For older children - a special box or a pillow/ cushion case is just as effective. It is really eye opening what they write but..... only discuss further if your child chooses too! You are literally and initially the ears and the scriber until they are ready to open up 💕 #littlelegsltd #worrymonster #listening #bonding #worry #selfcare #nomoreworries #ihearyou #mindfulness #mindfulnessforkids #emotionaltoolbox https://www.instagram.com/p/BwTrFPqBSL3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1stfi0jlb7p52

This little cute monster has just landed with us. I want to turn him in to a 'worry monster', something for kids to cuddle when they are worried, upset or scared but I lost for how to write it. What would you put on it? #monster #worrymonster #help #canyouhelp #whattowrite #embroidery #personalised #suggestions #publicopinion #marketresearch (at Cedar Designs) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrNJ4cqggdj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e6mac63qpcvm
