Let the Ärgerverschlinger free you from trouble.
I’m the Ärgerverschlinger and I’m here to say,
Some thoughts are unfriendly and get in your way
If you have a fear, anger, or worry,
Then give them to me right away in a hurry
Write it down, I will gobble them up
And once again you will have good luck
Some thoughts are unfriendly and get in your way
If you have a fear, anger, or worry,
Then give them to me right away in a hurry
Write it down, I will gobble them up
And once again you will have good luck
You can make your own Ärgerverschlinger by simply adding googly eyes to a small manual paper shredder. These are inexpensive and easy to find online. He’s box-shaped fellow with a slit for a mouth, a hand-crank on his side, and a window on his belly so you can see what’s in his tummy.
Whenever a child has an unfriendly thought of either frustration, worry, jealousy, self-pity, self-doubt, etc ... they write it down on a piece of paper and then feed it to this creature.
Although unfriendly thoughts are harmful to us, they are a treat for an Ärgerverschlinger. After the child has placed their unfriendly thought into the Ärgerverschlinger’s mouth, they turn the crank on its side and watch their unfriendly thought get gobbled up and shredded in its tummy. They’re delighted to see that their unfriendly thought is now gone forever. They discover that it feels good to identify what is disturbing them and it feels even better to let it go.
