Anxiety
The School Anxiety Workbook
Suzy Rowland
This interactive workbook for young teens who avoid school (for any number of reasons) can be used individually, as a direct communication tool for young people and their families, or as a companion guide to use with a therapist.
The book uses fun activities and real-life stories to help young people 10 to 14 understand the reasons attending school is difficult for them. It then helps to create an action plan for the future, offers techniques to help improve self-worth and mental health, and finally looks at alternative options if full-time school is out of the question.

Once upon a time, in a peaceful kingdom far away, there lived a knight (in training).
nOv 2022 | £14.99 | 10–14 yeArs | 112pp | pB | isBn-9781839972065
The knight never took their armour off, even in bed.
Even in the bath!
Because they always said you never know what might happen… They could fall and scrape their knee!
There could be a war!
What if a volcano
suddenly burst from the ground
and covered the whole kingdom in lava? Sometimes they would shake, or cry, or get a stomach ache.
There was just too much that could go wrong and it’s all they could think about! It felt safer to just sit and watch.
