Managing Anxiety with Worry Watchdog (and Cool Cat!)

Key Themes and Objectives:

UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY

The show begins by normalising feelings of worry and anxiety.

Worry Watchdog displays common fears that children may relate to, such as “What if I don’t know the answer?” or “What if something bad happens?”

These scenarios help children identify their own worries.

EXPLAINING THE BRAIN'S RESPONSE

The show incorporates simple explanations of the brain's fight, flight, or freeze response, emphasizing how the brain sometimes senses danger even when there isn’t any.

Worry Watchdog shows how this can make us feel tense, nervous, or afraid without needing to be.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT) CONCEPTS

Children learn about managing their anxious thoughts through the CBT approach, focusing on:

  • Noticing and naming feelings: Worry Watchdog demonstrates how to notice anxious thoughts and name them, making it easier to manage them.
  • Calming the body and brain: Cool Cat teaches Worry Watchdog techniques to calm down when feeling anxious, including breathing exercises, using the five senses technique, and taking breaks.

CATCH, CHECK AND CHANGE THOUGHTS

A central part of the show is learning how to catch anxious thoughts (often called 'stinking thinking'), check if they are true, kind, and helpful, and then change them to more positive and realistic thoughts.

For example, Worry Watchdog might think, "I can’t do this," and Cool Cat helps him reframe it to, "I can try my best."
