Worry Time Pupil Leaflet – Item 603

This is a worry time pupil leaflet which was requested by an ELSA who was trying to help pupils be more independent when dealing with worries. It is written in a child friendly way so pupils will understand.

We have a blog post on Worry time that you might find helpful.

Included in the Worry time pupil leaflet:

• What is worry time? – a brief description of what worry time is
• Pick a time and place – pupils can write the time and place on this page
• Getting ready – making a worry box
• Let it go – collecting worries and letting them go!
• Sorting them out – sorting out the worries at worry time

There is an editable part for you to put your contact details or just your name. Simply type in the blue box. Don’t worry the blue box doesn’t show when you print. You can of course just print it and handwrite your details.

There is also a BLACK AND WHITE version included in the pack.

Important information

This leaflet is meant to be used as part of ELSA Sessions or some other therapeutic session and shouldn’t just be given out to children without some input. They need to learn and understand worry time. Please DO NOT just give these out without that important input. They are purely reminders for the pupil to take away and for parents to get involved.

It is your responsibility to decide whether the information in this leaflet will be helpful to your pupils.

Under our terms and conditions these leaflets must not be put onto school websites.

They are for printing and giving to pupils at the end of a session or you could use them as a basis for your session. Work through each part with the pupil. Practise some of the things on there such as breathing exercises. Make a worry box together in the session for them to take home or to use in school.

We love these leaflet holders. You could stack them in each section and pull out all those mini lessons to talk through and send home.
