Talking Points
It's okay to feel worried sometimes. Remember, worries are like clouds in the sky; they come and go. You are not alone in feeling this way.
When we talk about our worries, it helps us feel better. Just like Ruby in the story, sharing our feelings can make a big difference.
Your worry monster drawing is a way to express your feelings creatively. You can give your worry a name and imagine it shrinking as you talk about it.
