The Irish Fairy Door Company - Interactive Worry Plaque

Many years ago, we became foster parents. Two children came to us which we knew we would adopt. They had been through so much in their short years. A year after they came into our home, we were given a late night call to come pick up an 18 mo from the hospital in a full body cast. Nobody in the countries would take her. I'm trained so it doesn't bother me one bit. At the 72 hour court hearing, they brought in her 3 mo sister. The sister was going to have to be placed 4 hours to the South. It broke my heart... so we brought her home, too. Now we have seven kids and two have needs. We had a great summer and went on a vacation all together. When we got home from the vacation, I admitted to my husband I had found another tumor. I got a biopsy and my breast cancer was back. I was diagnosed the first time in 2015 and now in 2017 I was rediagnosed on the SAME day as the initial diagnosis. It was a hard fight. When I went back into remission, we found out my husband needed open heart surgery. No, we're not old. We're in our 30s. He received his surgery, successfully. Two months later we adopted all four kids. I tell you all this to demonstrate that my amazing kids have been put through it. I got this to help give them a way to reduce stress. They love this. It's a comfort. It's just as cute as the advertisement and it lights up just like it says. Love this product.

Wonderful product. My kids swear by them and use it almost daily. They have a peaceful nights sleep after using this. If they can’t sleep, they climb out of bed and use it again. They really believe in it. There is also a keychain version I have on my kids school backpacks. I bought them in Ireland. I have bought eight worry plaques so far, for my kids, their schools and their friends. I will continue to gift this product. The company have a wonderful line of products. I always stock up when I’m back home in Ireland.

Loved this for a Christmas gift. Very cute and creative and light weight. Here are a few things to consider before buying though - I don’t know why but I kinda expected it to make noise but that’s my bad as the description doesn’t say that it does. Does not come with batteries just so y’all know (I’m pretty sure they have that listed in the description) and also the free content online requires ‘fairy registration’ which requires an email address. Also if you’re buying for an adult you may want to note that the hand print is about the hand length for a 15 year old so your hand may not fit in the outline. None of these are really deterrents for me but I just thought the info would be useful.

I have bought two of these, one for my 5 year old son to keep at school as a calm down tool with his teachers. It's a great way to get a little one to talk about their feelings. I believe the color change should take about twice as long as it would offer a more realistic amount of time to calm down. I'd love to see one of these made for anger/frustration. Great tool!

This was recommended to me by two different friends who came across the ads on Facebook and who knew that I had a child who struggles with anxiety in a major way. She is very perceptive but worries about everrrrything. She has a huge imagination as well, and this item could not be more perfect for that type of personality....imaginative but anxious. My child thinks this is the coolest thing ever and does not have to be prompted to use it when she's feeling anxious. She is five, for reference.

This is a nice little product that can help alleviate some stress if your kid is a worrier or stressed. My daughter did loose interest in this product in about a week, but to no fault of the product itself. You can hang it on a wall or place it wheaver you like which is nice. I would be careful not to drop the item as it seems to be made of thin plastic and would probably shatter or break fairly easy.

Got this because my daughter really wanted it to help her with her worries. This turned out to be more gimmicky for her than useful. I suppose it works for others. For us it just became a good dust collector. As far as operation. You put batteries in, put your hand up to it, it senses your hand, goes red, and after a determined amount of time it goes green. This time interval does NOT change. So if your child is dropping a laundry list of worries on it, it will go green before they are done. It should stay red until you remove your hand, would be more realistic.

Everyone loves it! I have it hanging in the entry and my kids, grandkids and anyone who comes in puts their hand in the worry hand. You really have to secure it if there will be a lot of use as it is plastic. There is only a certain position on the heel of your hand that makes it light up and change. For the younger kiddos it may be frustrating to have the light work and release their worries.
