Picture
Dan is always listening for the sounds of danger. He is listening so hard that sometimes he doesn’t hear the people around him. His Mum and his teacher wish he would pay attention! If only they knew how hard Dan was trying and how much he wished his worries would vanish.

This book is designed for 4-8 year olds to be read aloud in the classroom, and then used in conjunction with the exercises included to address mild to moderate anxiety in children. The exercises, aligned with the National Curriculum,  will help children identify their worries, find ways to talk about them, and provide strategies for managing them.  Wishes and Worries has also been enjoyed at home for children that have general worries.


This is part one of a two part resource. Part two is a home-based book consisting of another story and exercises for the child's family to work through. The whole resource is founded on principles of cognitive behavioural and narrative therapy and uses home-school scaffolding to support change.


Wishes and Worries is also available in Te Reo, He kanehe, he manatunatu

Illustrated by award winning Canterbury illustrator, Jenny Cooper.  Read recent reviews here.
