When a child has a problem that’s too big and too personal, they look for a friend who can keep their deepest, darkest secrets, and can listen without judgment. However, when sharing problems with a loved one isn’t possible, a Worry Doll can be that trustworthy pal that your child can share their most intimate sorrows with. While some may say worry dolls are mere amulets for the superstitious, that's not quite true. These vibrant little figures have played a vital role in modern pediatrics and psychiatry for years. Adults use worry dolls for anxiety, too. Although the act of transferring your problems to a doll is imaginary, it can help you develop the healthy psychological habit of letting go of your daily preoccupations so you can get a good night’s sleep. What Are Worry Dolls? Worry Dolls are hand-made dolls that originate from Guatemala. According to legend, children tell their sorrows, fears and worries to the Worry Dolls, then hide them under their pillow before going to sleep at night. By morning the dolls have gifted them with the wisdom and knowledge to eliminate their worries and feel better about themselves. The story of the worry doll is a local Mayan legend. The origin of the Muñeca quitapena refers to a Mayan princess named Ixmucane. The princess received a special gift from the sun god that allowed her to solve any problem a human could worry about. The worry doll represents the princess and her wisdom. What Does A Worry Doll Do? The aim of worry dolls is to help children sleep better by dealing with their worries, fears and sorrows by saying them out loud. Worry dolls also encourage children to demonstrate that they are willing to let go of their worries before going to sleep.
