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' is available for purchase here.  In the back of the book parents and teachers will find teaching plans and family exercises to increase resilience and emotional intelligence.

'Rising Tide' is available in English and Te Reo Maori. In late January we'll launch the web-based version with extra support notes for parents, teachers and theapists.  You will also be able to choose to have the story read to you by Sampson Karst, in both english or Te Reo Maori.

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 now and will be delivered to Canterbury school that have opted in to receive them in December 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.
