Worry is a nervous feeling that happens when you think something bad or scary might happen! Everyone worries sometimes, like before the first day of school or when trying something totally new. Worry is a normal feeling, and there are lots of ways to feel better.
Worry can feel like butterflies fluttering around inside your tummy. It can make it hard to focus or sleep. You might think about the same thing over and over again, and your body might feel tight and uncomfortable.
When you feel worried, talking to a parent or a teacher can make those butterflies fly away! They can help you understand what is going to happen and keep you safe. Taking deep breaths and thinking about happy things can also help your worries get smaller.
