Support from the Children's Commissioner

We were so thrilled this morning to receive this feedback and support for 'Maia and the Worry Bug' and 'Wishes and Worries'.

"Both books are terrific resources for helping young children and families to better understand anxiety and how to deal with it. They are age-appropriate, engaging, well written, and well-illustrated. The exercises at the end of each book provide great guidelines for further exploring anxiety, its effect on us, and how to manage it more effectively. The exercises are clearly based on cognitive behaviour therapy, which if done well, has been shown to reduce anxiety. I would whole-heartedly suggest that Christchurch schools and parents make use of these great resources."
- Children’s Commissioner Dr Russell Wills




Just over three weeks until the books are launched!

Exciting Times

Its a big week here at Worry Bug HQ.  The first run of 'Maia and the Worry Bug' are on their way down to Christchurch ready for the launch.  They'll be arriving in all schools in Christchurch City, Selwyn and Waimakariri districts in the beginning of term 3.  Invites are on their way out to all of the wonderful people that have supported the project so far, agencies that work with children, teachers and principals.

We're also very excited that 'Wishes and Worries' is heading off to print.  'Wishes and Worries' will also be printed in Te reo for bilingual units and Kura Kaupapa Maori.

    We all worry and feel anxiety at times in our lives.  Anxiety can impact on children and their families in many ways. The Worry Bug Project seeks to support parents and teachers to recognise and address mild to moderate anxiety.
