A gentle story for little ones learning that Mom and Dad can leave-and still always come back.
When Mom and Dad head out and a babysitter stays behind, their boy suddenly feels a big worry growing inside.
What if they stay away? What if they don't come back today?
Luckily, Woofie is right beside him.
With his lovable puppy best friend, a kind babysitter, and a few simple coping tools, the boy learns how to name his worries, take slow breaths, remember what is true, and discover that having fun can make anxious feelings feel a little smaller.
Soon, blanket forts, coloring, stories, games, and plenty of Woofie cuddles help turn a scary goodbye into a chance to practice being brave.
Woofie and His Boy: Babysitter Worries is a warm, reassuring picture book for children ages 3-5 that helps young readers explore separation anxiety, babysitter fears, big emotions, emotional regulation, and coping skills in a way that feels safe and easy to understand.
Perfect for children who are:
- Meeting a babysitter for the first time
- Nervous about being away from Mom or Dad
- Learning how to talk about anxious feelings
- Practicing deep breathing and calming strategies
- Building confidence with trusted caregivers
- Learning that bravery doesn't mean never feeling worried
Through gentle rhyme, colorful illustrations, and the comforting friendship between Woofie and his boy, children learn an important message:
Worries can feel big-but with breathing, words, patience, and loving helpers, they can become smaller.
A comforting addition to bedtime reading, preschool classrooms, daycare libraries, counseling resources, or any family preparing for a first babysitter.
Join Woofie and His Boy for another heartfelt adventure about growing up, handling big feelings, and discovering that a little courage can go a long way.
