Synopsis "The Worry Jar"
What if all you had to do was give your worries to The Worry Jar and you could work through anything? In this book, Michelle teaches our youngest children a strategy to handle their fear, insecurity, and anxiety. The fun-loving character, The Worry Jar, uses fun, repetitive words as a reminder that the worry is in the jar. When you write down your worry and put it in The Worry Jar, you don't have to think about it. However, when the worry pops back into your head, say the words "Worries, worries in the jar, I can!" The Worry Jar is quickly becoming a popular read with parents and teachers. Michelle has been an educator for 25+ years. She has successfully used worry jars with children and adults. The first worry jar was given to a boy named Aaron in Dr. White's class in 2000. He successfully implemented it into his routine. In 2001, Dr. White was in an accident leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. When Aaron heard the news, he knew what he needed to do. Other books by Michelle include New Opportunities (now Spiney), Scubability, and award winning, Go Away Worries! Put Then in The Worry Jar.
