Information
Description
What It Is:
This is a worksheet designed to help children manage their worries. It includes three prompts: 'What is something you are worried about?', 'What are some clues your worry won't come true?', and 'If your worry does come true, how will you handle it?'. Each prompt is followed by a lined area for writing responses, formatted to look like a note card attached with tape. The worksheet begins with the statement 'When worrying, we tend to imagine the worst possible outcomes...but those usually never happen.'
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 2-5. The questions are simple and direct, making it accessible for younger elementary students, while the subject matter is relevant for older elementary students dealing with anxieties.
Why Use It:
This worksheet encourages children to identify and process their worries in a structured way. It promotes critical thinking by asking them to consider evidence that their worries might not come true, and it encourages proactive problem-solving by prompting them to think about how they would handle their worries if they did come true.
How to Use It:
Provide the worksheet to a child and encourage them to answer each question thoughtfully. You can discuss each worry with the child, helping them brainstorm clues and coping strategies. The worksheet can be completed independently or with guidance from a teacher, parent, or counselor.
Target Users:
This worksheet is beneficial for elementary school students who experience anxiety or worry. It can be used by teachers in the classroom, counselors in individual or group settings, or parents at home to help children develop coping mechanisms for their worries.
