Kids today are growing up in a fast-paced world where information and opportunity overload can be overwhelming. Teaching Kids to Manage Anxiety offers parents and teachers simple strategies that can make a massive difference to a child's ability to cope.

Based on many years of clinical experience as an Occupational Therapist, Deb Hopper has been using her Just Right Kids(R) Model to teach children to communicate and manage their stress and anxiety by:
- Identifying their "body speed",
- Understanding their stress triggers, and
- Implementing simple strategies to reduce anxiety and stress.

Deb unpacks a comprehensive look at anxiety from a refreshing perspective. This includes

  • understanding what happens in the brain when children are anxious,
  • the role of memory,
  • how to identify stress and anxiety in children through their clues,
  • the impact of gut health on anxiety
  • a new perspective of the extent of anxiety in children including the concepts of
    • occupational anxiety
    • sensory overload and
    • screen time as contributing factors.

Deb steps through practical strategies for how to support children with the 5 types of 'occupational anxiety', or anxiety in a child's occuption, including

  • Learning anxiety
  • Sensory induced anxiety
  • Social anxiety
  • Emotional anxiety, and
  • Transitional anxiety.

The final section outlines both body/ physically based (bottom up) and cognitive/ thinking strategies (top down) approaches to supporting children to reduce anxiety and thrive from day to day.

Both parents and professionals will be refreshed and empowered to help their children/ the children they work with.

Reviews

"This is quite simply the best, most comprehensive and practical book I have ever read to help teach children - and many grownups - how to manage anxiety. It is written in an easy to read way with lots of fabulous graphics. This brilliant book needs to be in every home, every school and every library."

Parenting author and educator Maggie Dent

"Deb Hopper brings some wonderful practical strategies, drawing on her many clinical years of experience as an OT, to help anxious children. The Just Right Kids(R) Model contextualises where kids function best. A great read for all parents seeking practical help for their anxious child."

Dr Andrew Pennington Integrative GP BSc(hons); BMed; DRANZCOG Adv; FRACGP; FARGP

"If you are a teacher, children's counsellor or parent, then this is a must read. Deb very helpfully and clearly identifies many causes of stress and anxiety for kids. But more than that, she carefully outlines different techniques and strategies to help kids lead more regulated lives."

Peter F, Counsellor, Parent and Foster Parent.

"Through this wonderful book I was able to recognise that often as a parent we try to rescue our children from their stress and anxiety, when we should actually take the opportunity to create teachable moments of how to self regulate."

Peta C, Mum, Disabilities and Mental Health Worker.

Great shirt, good quality.
Color: Light Blue Melange, Size: Large
This brand is solid, really good quality material and a great look and price. Maelreg continues to impress me, I've now purchased 6-8 of their shirts/hoodies and 2 pair of joggers. I really like them all.

I’m Team Maelreg!
Color: Dark Grey Heather, Size: 3X-Large
I’m a huge fan of Maelreg! I’ve purchased numerous polos, a hoodie, a pair of shirts, and some golf pants, as well as two of these quarter zips (and I currently have a third one in my Christmas list). I love the way they fit and the way they look. I’m a bigger guy too, so it’s not easy to find fashionable “ath-leisure” apparel that doesn’t make me look like a popped can of Pilsbury biscuit dough. The only thing close to a complaint I can think of is that these are a lightweight weight material and the collar doesn’t want to stand up on its own. I wish Maelreg made a medium weight version with a little sturdier of a collar, but that’s just me.

Nice fit!
Color: Saxony Blue Melange, Size: X-Large
Great fit. Very comfy. Not too heavy. (Think late spring, early fall weather.) Material and stitching seems high quality. Slightly stretchy fabric. We’ll see how it holds up to wear and washing, but so far so good. I’ve already purchased another in a different color.

Fits true to size and good quality
Color: Black Grey Heather, Size: Large
I gave this 5 stars because I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and quality. The zipper is nice, it zips firm, it's not flimsy like a cheap zipper. For reference I am 5'7", athletic build, and 198 pounds. I ordered a size large and it fits perfect. I will buy more for sure.
