Number four started school in September and amazingly he has settled well and has come on absolute leaps and bounds in terms of his learning and behaviour which is something I never expected.
He is however a complex little thing and he is extremely hard to work out. He bottles things up and is a real closed book.
When he is worried or anxious he tends to lash out and problems are usually masked with aggression.
It is so frustrating and upsetting for all of us when he reacts this way and although it is an outlet for him it never really gets to the crux of the problem.
When we were asked to try out The Worry Plaque from The Irish Fairy Door Company I didn’t really hold out much hope in it working for us.
The plaque is battery operated and can be mounted to the wall. We are yet to find the perfect place for it so it is currently on number four’s chest of drawers.
The idea is that the child places their hand onto the handprint. The handprint appears red whilst they tell the fairies their worries and when it turns green all their worries are taken away by the fairies and the negative energy they create is then turned into good energy to grant lovely new wishes.
Number four is an extremely pessimistic child for someone of the tender age of five but he has been complexly encapsulated with the magic of this and has been a firm believer that all his worries will be safely taken away for him.
I couldn’t be happier with this fabulous idea that is perfect for little ones that find expressing their feelings hard.
Their are also a whole host of short videos online that show the fairies talking about worries such a bullying, falling out with friends, fears of spiders and many more.
A little bit of fairy magic has done the trick for us and I highly recommend giving it a go for yourselves.
*we were given this plaque for the purpose of this review and they are all my own, honest opinions.
