WorryWoo Twitch The Monster of Frustration

Emotional Focus: Frustration & Anger

Suitable for early years & primary settings

Twitch, The Monster of Frustration, always lets frustration get the better of him. He tries so hard to do everything right but when something doesn’t go his way, Twitch stomps, yells and gives up far too quickly. If only he could see that giving up isn’t the answer.

That’s where children come in. Twitch is looking for kind helpers who can show him positive ways to manage frustration, talk through big feelings and try again when things feel tough. Through comfort, conversation and imaginative play, children are encouraged to guide Twitch towards calmer choices.

Twitch provides a relatable, safe way for children to explore feelings of frustration and anger without judgement. WorryWoo – Twitch, The Monster of Frustration is a supportive, engaging companion that helps children learn frustration is normal and that with patience, support and practice, it can be managed in positive ways. Measures 37cm H. Ages 3yrs+.
