How these resources are intended to be used

These tools are not lessons and they don’t require children to explain more than they want to. They work best when: A trusted adult sits alongside the child, The focus stays on feelings, not fixing, Children are allowed to tick, draw, write — or simply talk. Every child’s experience is different, and these resources are designed to honour that.

🌱🦋 Starting Something New: A Brave Feelings Sheet

Inspired by: Amy’s Butterflies & Noah’s New Day Nerves

Starting something new — a new school, class, routine, or environment — can bring big feelings for little people.

This gentle worksheet is designed to help children:

Recognise how worry can feel in their body.

Understand that feeling nervous is normal.

Know they are not alone and that trusted grown-ups are there to help.

Identify one small, brave step they can try.

It encourages reassurance, trust, and quiet confidence — without pressure to “be brave” before a child is ready.

🌈 When to use this resource

This worksheet can be helpful:

Before starting school or nursery

During the first weeks of a new term

When a child feels anxious about change

As part of transition support at home or in school

It works well as a calm, shared activity with a trusted adult, allowing children to talk, draw, tick — or simply listen.

 

A note for parents, carers & educators

These resources are inspired by real conversations children have every day. They are not a substitute for professional support — but they can be a starting point for connection, reassurance, and understanding. If a child needs more help than this resource can offer, seeking additional support is always the right next step. © Louise Warrington. Inspired by my children’s books and created with care.
