How can these videos help a worried child?
They show that worry is a common feeling and give children things to try: breathing slowly, naming the worry, taking one small brave step and asking a grown-up for help. Watching together gives you a shared language to use later.
How do I use RepeatWatch for a worry routine?
Drag A and B around a breathing part of "Relax Away the Worries" so it loops, or choose Repeat one for a brave song before school. Save the steps you use most on keys 1–9, and set Stop after or the sleep timer to keep it short.
Frequently asked questions
Can these videos treat anxiety?
No. They introduce everyday coping ideas and are not a substitute for professional help. If your child's worries are big, last for weeks, or get in the way of school, sleep or friendships, talk to their doctor or school counselor.
Which videos are for parents?
The last six, from the Child Mind Institute, are for grown-ups: signs of anxiety, separation worries, helping with fears and stress, and avoiding passing your own anxiety on. The rest are for children ages 6–8, ideally watched together.
