Brave Time: A practical approach for anxious learners
Fun 2 Learn Book 7
About 1 in 8 children feel anxious, as such it is common, and natural, but having responses in place can provide support.
This book will provide some practical tips to generally support anxious learners on a daily basis, from a lay point of view. It is a way of thinking about anxiety, fear, and worry – but it is not a therapy device and does not replace the role of counsellors or therapy sessions.
There are 13 sections that will outline a basic process to develop new habits of mind and resilience. Over time you can form an automatic response routine.
If you are
a parent wanting ways to support your children at home,
a teacher,
a teaching assistant,
or a tutor wanting some ideas to support your learners
then this approach, and strategies, are for you to help you develop some strong habits of mind!

CARE to make a difference. Oxytocin; the power to connect
Compassion, Attachment, Relationships and Empathy all produce oxytocin. Oxytocin is a powerful bridge to connection with children who are struggling.
Children may have learning challenges, or have social, emotional or behavioural issues; or maybe their daily environment provides challenges. They may be living under social service protection, or with adopted families. Often, these challenges do not come alone, but link with other challenges. In addition to, or because of, any combination of these challenges, children can also suffer with frustration, anger, or tension. These emotions then become an additional barrier to success.
This book outlines some practical ways to release oxytocin and connect with children. It is a fundamental step to success.
If you are a parent wanting to support emotional resilience at home, or work in a school wanting some new ideas for to support in school, then this book is for you.
Make connections and grow success!
Primary Reflexes : Supporting Learning through Movement
Fun 2 Learn Book 8
This book will provide some practical tips to review the primary reflexes, their effect on learning, and some possible exercises that can help.
Many Occupational Therapists (OT) work on primary reflexes so working closely with a local OT can support development and offer specific advice.
The primary reflexes are the foundation for the nervous system and processing information. Each reflex is necessary for the development of a subsequent area of the brain, which replaces the earlier reflexes with higher learning processes.
Research has shown that sometimes the primary reflexes are retained and this can impact future development. Key areas that may be affected are
Literacy difficulties
Poor eye functioning
Weak gross or fine motor skills
Emotional immaturity
Focus and attention
Sensory processing
Anxiety
These are all aspects that underpin academic success.
If you are a parent wanting ways to support your children at home, or a teacher, teaching assistant, or tutor wanting some ideas to support your learners then finding out more about the primary reflexes could help you.
