Start the conversation and help a child open up about worries with
Let's Talk About Anxiety. Featuring a beautifully illustrated book
and 20 accompanying conversation cards, Let's Talk About Anxiety
inspires thoughtful discussion between adults and children, helping
young people to speak about their worries and concerns. Whether
it's explaining what worry feels like, or providing a child with
the tools to cope in situations where he or she feels nervous, the
activities and exercises inside use prompts and images to discuss
important issues with a focus on mental wellbeing and
understanding. This set allows adults to engage with children on an
emotional level, helping them to develop emotional connections, as
well as growing their compassion, communication and effective
listening skills.
Covering the works of Canadian authors Alistair Macleod, Michael
Ondaatje, Jane Urquhart, Margaret Atwood and Drew Hayden Taylor,
the author explores how the themes of memory, storytelling and
identity develop in their fiction. For the narrative voices in
these works, the past is embedded in the present and a wider
cultural history is written over with personal significance. The
act of storytelling shapes the characters' lives, allowing them to
rewrite the past and be haunted by it. Storytelling becomes an
existential act of everyday connection among ordinary people, and
in daily (often unrecognized) acts of heroism.
