Wobbly Worries and Sparkle Stars

Biscuit

Hello, hello, sparkly stars! It’s Biscuit, your feelings friend, back with you for more adventures with those big, fizzy feelings. Today, we’re talking all about something I call “wobbly worries.” Do you know what those are? Maybe you’ve had them before—like when your tummy feels like a twisty twirly washing machine, or your legs start to go all jelly wobbly. Oh, I know those feeling really well. Actually, just last week at the playground, I lost my favourite shiny pebble. You know, the rainbowy one that catches the sunshine just right? I looked everywhere, under the slide, in the sandpit, even inside my sock—don’t ask me how it would've got there! My tummy felt all tight, and my shoulders felt like I’d stuffed too many marshmallows in there. That’s a wobbly worry for you.

Let’s play a game where we name those wobbly worries together. Close your eyes for a tick if you want—what do your worries feel like inside you? Are they butterflies? Or maybe you feel fizzy like soda, or a bit dizzy like you've spun round and round. Sometimes I get so wobbly I feel like I could just blow away in the wind! Shout yours out loud, or whisper it in your hand, or just think it in your mind right now. Ready? One, two, three... mine feels like popcorn popping—pop, pop, pop! Did you do it? You are brilliant.

Oh, I have to send a big, bright sparkle star shout-out to Finley! Remember Finley from our last episode? Finley earned their first ever sparkle star for being so brave and telling a grown-up about a worry. That’s what I’m talking about—naming your feelings or sharing them is super-duper brave and gives your worries less power. Who knows, maybe today, you’ll earn your own sparkle star too!

So, what do we do when wobbly worries want to stick around and cause a fuss? Well—Bust-a-Worry Action Time! Let’s get our bodies moving, because worries hate when we have fun. Ready? Let’s all jump like frogs—big, silly, boingy jumps! One, two, three, ribbit! Can you feel your wobbles shaking out a little? Or, maybe stand by a mirror and make your silliest “worry face.” Mine looks a bit like a squashed plum. Oh, these games are the best way to bust those wobbles!

Now, I want you to pick one brave thing to try next time a wobbly worry pops up. Could be telling a friend, or giving your cuddliest soft toy a giant squeeze. I, um, wanna tell you a quick story—one time, I was hiding under my blanket fort with my pal Mo because we both had super stormy feelings. We each grabbed a plushy—mine’s a purple slug!—and just holding them made the fizzies go down a bit. Sometimes, silly helps. Sometimes, quiet helps. You choose what feels right for you.

Alright, it’s time for Biscuit Breaths—let’s make those worries float away. Sit nice and comfy. We’re gonna breathe in slowly, counting up: one... two... three... Hold it, and now blow out gently, like you’re cooling down a mug of hot, chocolatey cocoa. Feel the breath go all the way out? Let’s do it again—one... two... three... and blow... Imagine your worry is a fluffy cloud. See it? As we breathe out, that cloud floats higher and higher, right across the sky, and far away. Wave goodbye to your little worry cloud.

Biscuit

You did so, so well today—naming your worry, busting it with silly moves, and trying brave Biscuit Breaths. I’m sending a sparkly sparkle star your way, just for trying! Keep your star shining until next time. And, oh, next episode, we’re gonna talk about Excited Energy Wiggles—those bouncing, bursting bubbles you feel when you just can’t sit still. Until then, keep sparkling, and remember: feelings come and go, but you are always super-duper you!
