There’s a question I’m asked more than any other through Worley’s World:

"Can you help with anger?"

Whether it’s explosive tantrums, sulky moods that linger, or those sudden outbursts that seem to come out of nowhere - anger is often the emotion that pushes us to the edge.

But here’s the truth...

💥 Anger isn’t bad. It’s not even the real problem.It’s a communication tool and most children (and let’s be real, many grown-ups too) haven’t yet learned how to speak the language of emotions.

That’s where the Underground Membership steps in.

🎭 Giving Every Emotion a Voice

In Worley’s World, every big feeling gets a name, a face, and a playful way to be explored.

Our Underground Membership is where the magic of this really comes to life.

Instead of just one activity for anger or sadness, you’ll discover an entire toolkit for emotional literacy, starting with simple, engaging activities and growing into deeper strategies based on science and psychology.

Because kids don’t need fixing.They need help making sense of their inner world and that’s exactly what this membership was built for.

🧰 So Who Is the Underground For?

It’s for parents who want:

Quick, meaningful activities that take 5 minutes to set up and create 30 minutes of connection
A calm way to help their children understand emotions (without needing a Pinterest-perfect playroom)
A chance to actually enjoy their child’s company and drink a hot cuppa at the same time

It’s for educators and anyone who supports children, including:

Teaching staff
Family workers
Youth mentors
SEN teams
Community volunteers

Because emotional education doesn’t just belong in the classroom - it belongs in every space where children grow.

This isn’t another tick-box curriculum.It’s an adaptable toolkit that helps children (and their grown-ups) explore emotions in a way that’s playful, safe, and totally unique to them.

🧠 The Psychology Behind It

“Play is the highest form of research.”— Albert Einstein

Inside the Underground, children learn through doing, not lecturing. Whether they’re creating their own emotion monsters, role-playing with puppets, or exploring calming techniques, they’re engaging with ideas that stick because they’re embodied in play.

“Children express emotions through behaviour, and behaviour is a form of communication.”— Dr. Louise Porter (Child Psychologist)

Worley’s World offers a way to translate that behaviour.No more guesswork. No more guilt. Just real tools that help you respond with confidence and compassion.

🔓 What’s Really Inside the Underground?

The Underground isn’t just a bundle of printables. It’s a growing, evolving space filled with tools to help children recognise, understand, and manage their emotions.

Here’s what’s waiting inside:

🎭 Meet Every Emotion Monster – From George the Angry Monster to Brave, Sad, Jealous and more. Each has a full set of tools to help children explore their feelings safely and creatively.

🧠 Science Meets Storytelling – Therapeutic techniques adapted to fit the Worley’s World approach: simple, playful, and designed to make sense to tired, real-life grown-ups.

🎥 Videos, Prompts & Activity Guides – Whether you're a visual learner or just want support getting started, you’ll find short videos and easy instructions to make things flow.

🖍 Creative & Budget-Friendly – There’s no expensive kit to collect. You make the characters with your child, building connection and ownership while saving pennies.

🎒 Layered Learning Levels – Start with the basics of emotional literacy, then dive deeper into techniques inspired by play therapy, NLP and psychology - all explained in plain language.

🔄 New Content Monthly – Because emotions evolve, and so does this toolkit.

💛 It’s Not Just for the Kids…

This membership is just as much for you.

Because when you understand emotions better, when you have the right tools at the right moment, everything shifts:

You respond instead of react
You feel calmer, more confident
You get those magic moments of connection that make the chaos feel worth it

Worley’s World isn’t about making you a perfect parent.It’s about making sure you don’t feel like you’re parenting alone.

🌍 Inclusion Starts with Understanding

Inclusion isn’t a buzzword! It’s about ensuring every child feels seen, heard, and safe enough to be themselves.

Whether you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, supporting a child with trauma, or just looking for something different that actually works - the Underground offers you tools that grow with your child and your situation.

It’s gentle.It’s real.And it’s already changing families across the North East (and beyond).

🎯 Final Thoughts

If you’ve been loving our free activities or following along on social media, this is your next step.

Not because you have to.But because you deserve a toolkit that supports both you and your child.

✨ And right now, it’s still at the most affordable price it will ever be because I believe emotional education should be accessible, not premium.
