I bought the WorryWoo pack at the ACA conference this year after looking for something to help a couple of children in my Kindy class that were struggling with a few heightened emotions. The curriculum that comes with it was easy to navigate and I used this to structure our lessons. We would focus on a different WorryWoo each week, completing tasks each day before lunch. We downloaded the colouring in pages and activities from the website and created a book as well that we extended with after lunch as they children wanted. This was highly successful with more often than not, the children asking each day if they could work on their WorryWoo book. We created homes for the WorryWoos to live as they were introduced and we found the children were highly respectful of them and role played ideas and concepts with them, clarifying emotions as needed. I have noticed a huge difference in my class, not just the children I was thinking it could benefit. I highly recommend this resource to absolutely everyone. It's easy to use and has great benefits.

My school purchased 8 kits for our Kindergarten and Year 1 classes. We are a low socioeconomic school with many problems arriving through the school gate. Often, with these big problems came big feelings! For us, the Woos have helped students to recognise these big feelings and develop some strategies to help deal with them. And more importantly, it has helped our students to realise that they are not alone; and that is probably the best outcome! Even amongst the Kindergarten students, I have seen the light bulbs come on as they realise everyone has yucky feelings sometimes. One little girl even decided there is nothing wrong with her if they wrote a book about being worried.
The kits come with everything you need to help address some big feelings and the gorgeous Woo characters give our kids something to hold onto. I would thoroughly recommend the Woos as a behaviour management approach in all schools and community groups. The more we normalise some big feelings in our little people, the better equipped our students will become.
