Remote Control Worry Control Game

Teach children muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and visualization to help relieve anxiety.

During the game, players read brief case studies adapted from real-life scenarios of “anxious” or “worried” thoughts of children. Players then practice one of the three essential skills: they POWER ON for positive self-talk, breaking the negative thought cycle that can lead to escalated worry/stress; they PAUSE and either act out or describe a relaxation technique, which helps them feel better emotionally; or they REWIND and describe a time in the past when they overcame a similar worry/stress successfully.
