Worry doll

The princess received a special gift from the sun god which would allow her to solve any problem a human could worry about.

[3] In traditional and modern times, worry dolls are given or lent to brooding, anxious, or sorrowful children.

During a psychological interview with children, some counselors have offered a worry doll to the child as some kind of imaginary, but trustworthy "listener", "allayer" and "contact person".

[6] The doll, in turn, will work for psychiatrists, psychologists, educators and parents as some kind of "agent" and "troubleshooter" between child and adult.

[7][8] Today, worry dolls are sold in huge quantity in Guatemala and Mexico.
