Nearly 10 000 Worry Bug Resources Went into Canterbury ECEs this week

9/5/2016

With thanks again to New Zealand Red Cross nearly 10 000 Worry Bug books went into Canterbury Early Childhood Centres this week and to celebrate we had a bug stomping at Kidsfirst Sunbeam Kindy in St Albans, Christchurch this morning.

The children patiently watched the sand sculpture of the Worry Bug take shape in their sand pit. Julie Burgess-Manning read the children 'Maia and the Worry Bug' and then the children leaped at the chance to stomp the Worry Bug.

The Worry Bug Project was initially designed for junior primary children but due to demand NZ Red Cross funded the books for all Canterbury four year olds, as well as the translation of 'Maia and the Worry Bug' into Te Reo Maori.

For ECE and parents outside of the Canterbury region books are available for sale via our website.

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.
