My Worry Jar is a simple yet effective resource designed to help children and young people manage their worries by giving them a structured way to process anxious thoughts. This interactive tool encourages mindfulness and emotional regulation, providing a safe space to acknowledge and contain worries rather than letting them overwhelm daily life.
What’s Inside?
- The Worry Jar Concept – A visual and practical method for writing down worries and setting them aside, reducing their immediate impact.
- Guided Worry Time – Encourages setting a specific time each day (5–15 minutes) to open the Worry Jar, reflect on concerns, and then “close” them until the next session.
- Reassurance and Emotional Support – Helps individuals understand that they do not have to carry their worries all day, promoting a sense of control over anxious thoughts.
Who Can Use This Tool?
My Worry Jar is ideal for parents, teachers, therapists, and caregivers supporting children and young people experiencing anxiety or excessive worry. It is suitable for use in schools, counselling sessions, or at home, helping to build healthy emotional habits in a gentle and accessible way.
