A story about Anxiety
for your 2nd Grader.
Deep in the enchanted forest, Willow Charms stands by a tall oak tree, listening to a soft whisper in the shimmery leaves. She feels a tiny flutter in her chest.
Nearby, Cluckster pecks at some fallen petals. He hears the same whisper and clucks nervously, but he still manages a cheerful hum.
A glowing lantern sways gently on a low branch, its golden light pulsing with each mysterious whisper.
Willow Charms feels a tickle of worry in her stomach. She wonders what the whisper wants and if she will ever understand it.
Cluckster ruffles his feathers and sings a gentle song. His melody helps calm both of them, reminding them to breathe slowly.
A sparkling potion bottle sits on a mossy stump, flickering green whenever the whisper grows louder.
Willow Charms closes her eyes and remembers that it’s normal to feel worried sometimes. She knows asking for help can make fear feel smaller.
Cluckster hops in a silly circle, pecking at a small pebble. His playful moves make Willow Charms giggle, and her anxiety fades a tiny bit.
