Our Mission

As teachers, we understand the importance of wellbeing and its impact on a child’s learning and emotional development. When the mind is preoccupied instead of relaxed and alert, learning cannot go deep. Our mission is to help children identify their feelings and to provoke conversations about how to manage these effectively. This book highlights the damaging effects of anxiety on young children.
