Hey friends! Have you ever heard of worry dolls? These tiny, colorful little dolls can actually help your child manage their worries and anxieties—especially at bedtime when those big feelings tend to bubble up. My girls can sometimes get super anxious, and worry dolls have become a beautiful little ritual for us. The idea is simple (and kind of magical): your child tells their worries to the doll before they go to sleep, and the doll “takes the worries away” while they rest. Cool, right?

Hey friends— Before I dive in, I just want to be real with you. This post isn’t light. It’s not polished or pretty.
