"Worry's songs tie my tummy up in knots,
and the things he says make my heart beat very fast.
Sometimes he speaks in a whisper, and other times
his voice gets so loud I can't hear anything else."
Worry and anxiety are currently the top mental health issues among children and teens. Children have a number of worries throughout childhood that will come and go. The problem is not with the worries themselves, but that children believe the worries to be true. With a relatable story and beautiful artwork, Worry Says What? will help children (and adults) flip their thinking when anxious thoughts begin and turn them into powerful reminders of all they are capable of accomplishing.
Worry Says What? By Allison Edward’s, illustrated by Ayesha Rubio, illustrates how loud the voice of worry can be in your head as you go about your day. It will help children who suffer from anxiety or have a case of the worries to put into words their feelings and frustrations. The books is a day in the life of the main character and shows different scenarios where worry overcomes her throughout the day.
When the child decides to take back control, she uses positive affirmations to help balance herself out and take back her control. It’s a great book to read with kids at the beginning of the week is they deal with Sunday worries. In addition to the affirmations, there is also a cute little song kids can use as a tool when they start to feel worry take over. There are also tips in the back of the book.
Worry Says What? is definitely a good resource to have for teachers, caregivers and parents.
