The ‘My Worries’ worksheet gives children and young people a simple way to write down concerns, look for evidence for and against anxious thoughts, and name trusted people they can talk to. Designed for lockdown home learning, the pack also includes activities around change, transitions, self-care, calming strategies, grounding and breathing.
When a child or teenager is finding lockdown, home learning or changing routines difficult, these printable mental health worksheets offer structured prompts that adults can use without needing complicated preparation. The pack is aimed at parents, schools and youth groups supporting children and young people with emotional wellbeing, anxiety, worries and day-to-day coping skills.
A change and transitions activity asks young people to think about a time they have already dealt with change, whether at school, at home, with friends, at a club or in another setting. It then encourages reflection on what helped before and what advice they would give someone else, making it useful for conversations about resilience and moving through uncertainty.
The worries pages use a clear problem-solving and anxious thought approach. Young people can record their worries, consider the evidence for and against them, identify the main problem, break it into three steps, and list three people they could speak to. These prompts could support one-to-one pastoral sessions, counselling check-ins, family discussions or wellbeing lessons.
The contents also show further activities covering challenging anxious thoughts, self-care colouring, feelings about lockdown, finding a calm place, a grounding technique and a breathing technique. These are common searches for child anxiety worksheets, teenage wellbeing activities, coping skills for kids, lockdown mental health resources and printable emotional regulation tools.
The layout is child-friendly, with large writing spaces and straightforward questions, so it can be printed for home learning packs, school wellbeing folders or youth group sessions. e-wellbeing is named as the provider, with YMCA Dialogue and YMCA DownsLink Group referenced in the pack.
