Book Synopsis

An increasing number of children face feelings of anxiety and isolation, negatively impacting their mental health and wellbeing, as well as their attainment in school. Having battled social anxiety herself, Rachel Thynne knows first-hand how hard it can be to be misunderstood and receive little help. By understanding the communicative function of behaviours and seeing the person behind their actions, staff can learn to support and nurture pupils with consistency, empathy and positivity.

This book explores anxiety in children and young people, unpicking social anxiety, situational mutism, school anxiety and separation anxiety within a school context, and shining a light on the importance of relationships, effective communication and self-regulation skills. A wealth of strength-based strategies are provided that can be implemented quickly and easily by busy school staff to alleviate anxiety, build self-esteem and increase feelings of safety and belonging.
