About the Free Printable Worry Time Door Hangers for Anxious Kids
This two page printable features two reversible door hangers (one that is pink with a girl and one that is blue with a boy). Stereotypical colors, I know, but it's the best clipart that I could find for this purpose. You could also just use this printable as a template or print it in black and white if you want to avoid the stereotypical colors.
Simply print the page that you want to use, laminate, and cut.
Then when it's worry time, your child can let everyone else in the house know by flipping it to the side with the child that says, "It is my worry time," and hanging it on their doorknob or door handle while the door is closed. And when worry time is over, they can flip it over to the other side, letting everyone else know it's okay to come in and play.
It is my hope that this simple printable will ensure that your child's worry time is distraction free.
