A child-friendly story workbook for kids with sick worries, throw-up fears, or anxiety when someone nearby does not feel well. Helps children spot “what if” thoughts, fact-check worry stories, calm their body, and practice staying present when illness fears feel loud.
This workbook is designed for kids who worry about getting sick, throwing up, germs, body sensations, being away from trusted adults, or something bad happening. Through Maya’s story, children learn that worry can feel like a storm, but they can notice it, name it, calm their body, and take small brave steps.
Want more worry support? This workbook pairs well with When Worry Gets Loud and Sticky Brain Studio’s anxiety tools for helping kids work through worry loops, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and brave practice.
