My son has been working on his worries with a psychologist and the latest tool that she introduced him to was the worry bully.
And to be honest, I was surprised by how much he enjoyed discussing and responding to his worry bully.
Basically, he is learning to recognize his anxiety and anxious thoughts as the worry bully and he can say or do things to make that worry bully go away.
Drawing and naming the worry bully is a great way to make it even easier for him to make the worry bully go away, calming his anxiety in the process.
At his last appointment, he drew his worry bully on a whiteboard (which is like the best tool ever for a hyperlexic kid) so we weren't able to bring his drawing of the worry bully home. However, me being me, I put together a place for him to draw out his worry bully so that he can keep it handy.
The result?
