Rebecca Reads: Mindful Bea and the Worry Tree
Bea is anxiously waiting for her friends to show up for her birthday party. The worries start to grow around her like tree branches. She asks herself questions like, "What if my friends don't like the games?" Her stomach flip-flops and she feels shaky. She tries to run away from the thoughts in the worry tree, but it doesn't work!
Bea uses deep-breathing exercises and visualization techniques to calm herself down.
