Imagine a little green man knocking at your door to tell you every time something went wrong and everytime he feels anxious or worried. This could be every10 minutes!
Every time he knocks, you have to stop what you’redoing, such as playing with your toys, watchingtelevision or playing with your friends, and answerthe door. You then have to listen to what he has tosay. This takes up a lot of your time!
This is just like when we worry. Thinking aboutworries can take up a lot of our time. Next time heknocks at the door tell him to write down all of hisworries and everything he wants to tell you andthen he can come back and tell you at the end ofthe day.
WORRY TIMEThe Green Man Plan.
What is worry time?Worry time is a set time to spend going through your worries.
This way you aren’t ignoring him, but he won’tinterrupt you playing or doing fun things!
The Green Man Story
The Green Man plan!
Step 1: When you feel yourself worrying. Write down your worry and how you feel. Step 2: Put your worry in a safe place such as a jar, under your pillow or even in your pocket. Step 3: Now your worry is out of your head, find something to do such as drawing a picture or tidying yourroom. Step 4: At the end of the day collect all of your worries that you wrote down earlier. Step 5: Grab a trusted grown up and talk about these worries together. (Or read these back to yourself inprivate if you prefer). Step 6: After reading back over your worries, are there any that you can throw away? Step 7: Now, go do something you enjoy as you have completed worry time! Sometimes the longer we spend on a worry, the bigger it gets. Giving yourself a break can help you
realise we didn’t need to worry at all!
Feeling Angry? There are lots of warning signs to show you are angry. Things such as a red face, clenched fists, or a racingheart. What are yours? When you're feeling angry and notice your warning signs, fill in the bubbles below.
I'm so angry I could ... I'm so annoyed I could ... I'm so frustrated I could ...
I'm so mad I could ... I'm so furious I could ...
When you notice thesethoughts entering your
mind take a deep breathand count to 10.

A note for care givers. It would be great if you could let us know your child's before and after feeling. You can email this to Nicola [email protected]. This can help us sustain funding to provide activities and workshops for children and young people. Thank you for
your support.
