A survey commissioned by Coiledspring Games has revealed that more than a third of parents think their children worry more than they did when they were young.
Conducted ahead of the launch of the plush toy Sorgenfresser (Worry Eaters), results also exposed that over a third claimed that their children only shared their worries with them 'sometimes'.
18 per cent of the cross section of 200 parents said their children did not share their worries at all.
Launching in the UK this week, the Worry Eaters are a range of zip-mouth monsters designed to encourage children to share their worries by writing them down and feeding them to the characters.
And to celebrate, a life size Worry Eater will be visiting London this week to help ease the nation's worries.
