Dr Playwell’s Worry Less Game

Many children have problems with anxiety and worry. Their concerns may be situational perhaps connected with a divorce, a death, or a move or they may have a full-blown anxiety disorder. Whatever the cause, children benefit from learning specific cognitive and behavioural skills to help them cope with their anxiety.

Dr. Playwell’s Worry-Less Game will introduce children to seven of these skills, including:

• Being aware of feelings a physical symptoms
• Self-calming Positive self-talk
• Changing negative thinking
• Coping with difficult feelings and situations
• Making a plan to act in spite of anxiety and fear
• Self-monitoring and self-reinforcement

As part of an overall treatment plan, this game can be used to introduce these concepts.

Recommended for Grades: 1-6

Players: 2-4
