Tell your worries to our Worry Dolls
By nwilliams
Worry Dolls are used by kids in Guatemala to take away their worries.
Guatemalan children tell their Worry Dolls their problems, put the doll under their pillow, and in the morning, their problems have vanished.
If you have a problem or a worry, write a number between 1 and 10, depending on how big your worry is, in the comment box below and think about the problem in your head.
Do not write your worry in the comments box.
I will add one doll for each of your worries, which will help to make your problems go away.
** Please note ** We cannot give you advice for your problems. This article is just for fun. If you have any serious problems or worries, please contact ChildLine http://www.childline.org.uk/.
