Bedtime Worry Drop-off

Put your worries to bed so YOU can sleep!

🌙 Why Drop Off Your Worries?

One of the biggest reasons kids struggle with sleep is worrying in bed. Your brain thinks bedtime is "worry time" because you are finally still and quiet! This activity helps you physically put those worries somewhere else so your mind can rest. By writing them down and "dropping them off," you are telling your brain: "I have recorded these. I can deal with them tomorrow. For now, it is time to sleep."
