5.0 out of 5 stars A springboard for talking over a child's hidden worries, 6 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Huge Bag of Worries (Picture Books) (Paperback)
"The Huge Bag of Worries" relates the simple story of a little girl who finds she is carrying an ever growing 'bag of worries'. She tries to think of ways to reduce her load but finds that everyone she wants to talk to about her 'bag' has so many of their own worries that she doesn't want to burden them further. Finally her Grandmother notices her growing 'bag of worries' and they work through her worries together. The girl finds there are lots of different ways of dealing with or sharing worries and feels a whole lot better once her 'bag of worries' has been cleared out.

Our family found this a useful aid in dealing with the stresses suffered by our 6 year old daughter who is hard of hearing. She has more on her plate than most and the story gave us very useful code for addressing her concerns. We continue to use the 'bag of worries' terminology and find that now we can go straight to the problem rather than the old guessing game we used to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for older children too..., 24 Nov 2007
By Kim McCabe "writeangles" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I asked our oldest son, who had a huge bag of worries, to read this to his younger siblings. Although it is not aimed at his age he was able to hear and respond to the clear and simple message which applies to any age. It has really helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars huge bag of worries gone!, 20 April 2009
By Mrs. Sarah N. Duggan ((St Albans, England)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Used this in a SEAL group with Y3 - 6. Also in assembly at school. the feedback from other teachers was great with children sending me their worries to get rid of in my 'bag'. Some of them we were able to 'pick up' and deal with in school. Lovely book and well worth the money!
