Worry Time for Children & Teens | Printable CBT Worksheet

📖 About this Resource

Support children and teenagers to develop healthier ways of responding to worries with this printable Worry Time Worksheet. Designed by a Child and Young Person Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, this CBT-inspired resource introduces the concept of setting aside a dedicated time to acknowledge worries, helping children reduce the impact of anxious thoughts throughout the day.

Rather than encouraging children to ignore or suppress their worries, this worksheet promotes a balanced approach by creating space to notice, record and reflect on worries at an appropriate time.
