After the success of 'Maia and the Worry Bug' and 'Wishes and Worries' families and schools asked for something for older children.  'Rising Tide' was written and developed for Year 5-8 children.  With the generous support of New Zealand Red Cross all children and teachers in Year 5-8 classrooms in Canterbury will receive a free copy. For teachers and parents outside of Canterbury the 'Rising Tide' will be available for purchase via our site and bookshops in November.

'Rising Tide' will launch in late November. It will be available in English and Te Reo Maori, and have an web based version with an audio component, and support videos.  In the back of the book parents and teachers will find
 teaching plans and family exercises to increase resilience and emotional intelligence.

Teachers, by registering below you will receive updates, synopsis, sample lesson plans to prepare your planning for 2017 and an invitation to participate in Massey University's research. Start your year off well by exploring the themes of resilience for confident learners and a positive classroom culture.  The books will be available for purchase from late November.

Rising Tide will be delivered free to Canterbury school that have opted in to receive them for use in 2017.  We're beginning the process of connecting with schools now to allow syndicates and individuals to add the use of the book to their planning.

Are you a year 5-8 teacher at a Canterbury school?  Great news!  Thanks to generous support from New Zealand Red Cross all students and teachers in/of year 5-8* attending Canterbury school** can receive a free copy.  Sign up to our newsletter so we can contact you about numbers etc. Not in Canterbury?  We'd love to keep you in the loop too!

Have a burning question, or just want to connect?  Drop us a line theworrybug@kotukucreative.co.nz


* As at Feb 1 2017
**  Available to Canterbury Home Schoolers too

Hi Melanie, I've added you to our newsletter database. All funded copies of the books have been allocated but there are still copies available for purchase on our site or you can read, or listen to Rising Tide, and find all the teacher. parent and therapist notes there too, at no cost. We'd love to hear any feedback you have after using the resources. Thanks, Sarina

    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.
