THE HAYWIRE GROUP expands its line of Worry Eaters with new characters. Worry Eaters are a safe, non-pressure way for kids to express their worries. Kids write or draw their worries on a piece of paper, feed it to their Worry Eater, zip up the mouth, and let it hold their troubles so they do not have to carry the weight of that worry. A parent or caregiver can then help the child find solutions, face that worry, or acknowledge that the worry exists.
