When a spelling test turns into a giant hungry tiger

When a spelling test turns into a giant hungry tiger

That's Wally's doing — and honestly, he's not proud of it. If your child's worry monster has been running the show lately, you might recognise some of these:

That's Wally's doing — and honestly, he's not proud of it. If your child's worry monster has been running the show lately, you might recognise some of these:

Thumpy hearts

Big feelings before school, tests, or anything new — the racing heart and popcorn tummy Wally loves to stir up.

Bedtime worries

The worries that wait until lights-out to get loud, making sleep a nightly negotiation.

The "what ifs" & avoidance

Small things become giant tigers — what if I get it wrong, what if nobody likes me, what if, what if. New experiences — easier to dodge than to face, which only makes Wally bigger.

Boss your worry monster!

Funny, warm, and genuinely useful. By the end of the course, your child will:

Know exactly what anxiety is

In kid language — what worry actually is, why every brain has a Wally, and why having one doesn't mean anything is wrong with them.

Find where worry hides in the body

The thumpy heart, the popcorn tummy, the wobbly legs — kids learn to spot Wally's tricks the moment they start.

Master the Balloon Breath

A simple, memorable breathing tool that calms the body down fast — anywhere, any time, no equipment needed.

Play the Detective Game

Turn scary "what if" thoughts into clues to investigate — is that spelling test really a giant hungry tiger? Let's check the evidence.

Use the Boss Talk

Kids learn to talk back to Wally kindly but firmly — because they're the boss of their brain, not the worry monster.

Learn Wally's biggest secret

Brave people still feel scared — and doing the thing anyway is what makes worries shrink. That one idea changes everything.

What's included

The full course — plus exclusive bonus features.

Wally's video course

The full funny, warm video series for ages 8–12 — what anxiety is, where it hides in the body, and the three tools: Balloon Breath, Detective Game, and Boss Talk.

Bedtime & adventure episodes

A soothing bedtime relaxation, plus real-life adventure episodes that gently prepare kids for the dentist, a new school, injections, sleepovers and more — so they know what to expect before the big day.

Questions before you enrol

What age is the course for?

Wally is made for kids aged 8–12. The tone is funny and warm rather than babyish, so it lands well right across that range.

Should I watch it with my child?

Either works. Many families watch together — the shared language ("that's just Wally!") is half the magic — but the episodes are designed so kids can also watch on their own. Your dedicated Parent Module helps you reinforce the tools between episodes.

What are the three tools?

The Balloon Breath (calming the body), the Detective Game (investigating scary "what if" thoughts), and the Boss Talk (talking back to worry kindly but firmly). Simple, memorable, and designed for kids to use in real moments.

What are the adventure episodes?

Bonus episodes that gently prepare children for real-life experiences — visiting the dentist, starting a new school, having injections, attending sleepovers and more — so they know what to expect before the big day arrives.

Is this a substitute for professional support?

No. Wally is an educational course that gives kids helpful language and tools. It works well alongside professional care, but if your child's anxiety is significantly affecting daily life, please also speak with your GP or a child mental health professional.

Can schools use Wally?

Yes — Unplugged offers dedicated school support. Get in touch to learn more.
