Description

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 KidsTM 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.
