My Biggest Worry Worksheet
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables
Anxiety can easily overwhelm children if fears and “what-ifs” grow too big in their heads. This creative visualization worksheet provides a launchpad for students to address their biggest worry in a manageable, step-by-step way. By externally analyzing concerns, rather than letting them snowball internally, kids reclaim control and perspective. The worksheet guides stressed children to first identify one standout worry plaguing their thoughts. They illustrate what this concern “looks like” in their mind – maybe a monster under the bed or dark swirling cloud. Describing it visually externalizes the worry from emotion into a concept now on paper. Students then examine two paths this worry could take at its worst and most likely outcomes. They draw their catastrophic envisioning of events if the worst were to happen. Contrastingly, they explain the realistic resolution based on past experiences and probability. This exercise illuminates how worries often play out better than the disastrous scenarios we imagine. Finally, children list constructive actions they can take to address roots of the worry, preventing both best and worst case outcomes. Coping strategies like talking to trusted adults, contingency planning or controlling reactions empowers kids. Allowing children to visually dump out, inspect and problem solve their biggest worry is immensely relieving, putting things into healthier perspective. This worksheet builds essential emotional management tools that alleviate anxiety now and better equip students to assess concerns rationally moving forward.

That Bothers Me Worksheet
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Not Grade Specific, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
To enhance the effectiveness of this That Bothers Me Worksheet, I've been pairing it with some coping strategies that I believe will resonate with our students: Pause and Breathe: When emotions run high, advising students to halt and take a few deep breaths can make a world of difference. It acts as a buffer, preventing immediate reactions and aiding in clearer thinking. Challenge Your Thoughts: Let's empower our kids to scrutinize those initial feelings of annoyance. Prompting questions like, "Is this a genuine reflection of the situation?" can lead to more objective and calmer assessments. Practice Empathy: Truly an essential life skill. Steering them towards seeing things from another's viewpoint can often diffuse personal grievances and provide greater understanding. Reframe the Situation: Highlighting the art of positive thinking can guide them to find beneficial outcomes in challenging situations. Rather than getting caught up in the problem, they can focus on potential growth or lessons learned. Practice Gratitude: Have you tried gratitude journals in class? Or perhaps a simple discussion on the day's positive moments? It's an excellent method to shift their attention to the brighter side of things. Letting Go: One of the hardest but most vital lessons is understanding that not everything is within our control. Teaching adaptability and acceptance can be truly transformative. Engage in Self-care: Emphasizing the importance of self-care can't be overlooked. Encourage activities that allow them to unwind and rejuvenate, be it reading, doodling, or just some quiet moments. Seek Support: We should constantly remind them that it's perfectly okay to share their feelings. Be it friends, family, or school counselors, seeking external perspectives can often shed light on troubling situations.
