English term or phrase: worry bully
Ciao,
come rendereste questa espressione - "worry bully" - presente in un libro per bambini pensato per aiutarli a superare l'ansia?
Vi riporto una parte del testo:

Use your imagination to picture what a worry bully might look like,: Is it a mean, ugly creature with smelly breath and long claws that perches on your shoulder and whispers worry thoughts in your ear? Or perhaps the worry is a dark blob, like a cloud person who keeps raining worries down on you?”

Grazie per ogni suggerimento!

Grazie di cuore, Anne! Desidero ringraziare anche Alessandra per la sua proposta, molto valida anch'essa, ma avevo bisogno di un'espressione più sintetica, e, purtroppo, non si possono dividere i punti... Un sincero grazie anche a Rita e Pataflò per le loro considerazioni nella Discussion!

Bulletto chiamato Ansia/Preoccupazione

Mi è venuta in mente questa idea. Ammetto che è un po' più lunga dell'originale inglese però secondo me rende l'idea ed è facilmente comprensibile per un bambino.

Asker: Grazie, Alessandra, per il tuo contributo! Io avevo pensato a "attacca-ansie" (pensando a un bullo come a un "attaccabrighe"), ma mi piace anche la tua.
