Kids today are growing up in a fast-paced world where information and opportunity overload can be overwhelming. Teaching Kids to Manage Anxiety offers parents and teachers simple strategies that can make a massive difference to a child's ability to cope.

Based on many years of clinical experience as an Occupational Therapist, Deb Hopper has been using her Just Right Kids(R) Model to teach children to communicate and manage their stress and anxiety by:
- Identifying their "body speed",
- Understanding their stress triggers, and
- Implementing simple strategies to reduce anxiety and stress.

Deb unpacks a comprehensive look at anxiety from a refreshing perspective. This includes

  • understanding what happens in the brain when children are anxious,
  • the role of memory,
  • how to identify stress and anxiety in children through their clues,
  • the impact of gut health on anxiety
  • a new perspective of the extent of anxiety in children including the concepts of
    • occupational anxiety
    • sensory overload and
    • screen time as contributing factors.

Deb steps through practical strategies for how to support children with the 5 types of 'occupational anxiety', or anxiety in a child's occuption, including

  • Learning anxiety
  • Sensory induced anxiety
  • Social anxiety
  • Emotional anxiety, and
  • Transitional anxiety.

The final section outlines both body/ physically based (bottom up) and cognitive/ thinking strategies (top down) approaches to supporting children to reduce anxiety and thrive from day to day.

Both parents and professionals will be refreshed and empowered to help their children/ the children they work with.

Reviews

"This is quite simply the best, most comprehensive and practical book I have ever read to help teach children - and many grownups - how to manage anxiety. It is written in an easy to read way with lots of fabulous graphics. This brilliant book needs to be in every home, every school and every library."

Parenting author and educator Maggie Dent

"Deb Hopper brings some wonderful practical strategies, drawing on her many clinical years of experience as an OT, to help anxious children. The Just Right Kids(R) Model contextualises where kids function best. A great read for all parents seeking practical help for their anxious child."

Dr Andrew Pennington Integrative GP BSc(hons); BMed; DRANZCOG Adv; FRACGP; FARGP

"If you are a teacher, children's counsellor or parent, then this is a must read. Deb very helpfully and clearly identifies many causes of stress and anxiety for kids. But more than that, she carefully outlines different techniques and strategies to help kids lead more regulated lives."

Peter F, Counsellor, Parent and Foster Parent.

"Through this wonderful book I was able to recognise that often as a parent we try to rescue our children from their stress and anxiety, when we should actually take the opportunity to create teachable moments of how to self regulate."

Peta C, Mum, Disabilities and Mental Health Worker.

Durable, Dogs love it
Color: Red
My Frenchie is a crazy chewer and can chew up a nylabone in a day, so I was looking for something that would last longer. So far this is holding up, and is pretty durable. Both my dogs like it a lot, it’s easy for them to grasp, and chewable but still very tough material. I suspect at some point it’ll wear down, but not for a while. The size was just as described / expected. Not too small and not too big

NOT FOR PLAYING CATCH.
Color: Blue
This toy is quite heavy, making it good for a chew toy or for fetch, but not for catch. It could very easily injure your dog as it damned near did mine.

Durable bone that you can add a spreadable treat to
Color: Blue
Our German Shepherd was 4 months old when we purchased this. She’s going to be 6 months soon. She has been teething really bad. We wanted some way to sooth her pain. This product was just what we needed. We put it in the freezer with some peanut butter in the center on both sides. Once frozen we give to our puppy. She loves it. When we open the freezer she recognizes the ziplock package that it was delivered in which we store it in our freezer. She jumps around until we give it to her. She loves it and it keeps her occupied for a while. It is very durable. I did not notice any smell when we received it. It does not make any noise. The plastic material is safe for animals. To clean I put in the dishwasher. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because sometimes the peanut butter gets stuck in it and may need to go through the dishwasher twice which is not a big deal. Or you can hand wash it. I found the dishwasher was best for us. You do not even have to put anything on it, but our pup likes it. I would recommend to others.
