Anxiety Project
Everyday Jitters
Southern Community Welfare is very proud to announce that Everyday Jitters is now available!
Especially written for children aged 2-6 this book is designed to help children manage their fears about everyday situations. Children can only overcome anxiety by facing the things that they are anxious about, confronting them and learning that they will be okay. The positive maxim “Bigger Stronger I think I can” spurs children on in these moments as an encouragement to keep on trying, keep learning and keep believing they can face their fears. Success at these times promotes confidence in their own abilities.
Everyday Jitters is available now for RRP $14.95 GST Free. To order a copy phone our office on 9545 0299. To download a flyer please click here.
We accept cash, cheque, Visa Mastercard and EFTPOS.
We are a not for profit organisation and all proceeds from the sale of these
books will fund future projects.
Mr Jitters
A valuable resource for children (aged 5-8 years) who struggle with anxiety, and their families. In our experience, we have found that behavioural and anxiety difficulties are two of the typically identified issues for children and families today. A story for preschool and early primary school aged children, this book is innovative and, as far as we are aware, the first of its kind as it engages parents to work with their child in their anxious moments to overpower their “Mr Jitters”. This, we believe, will empower parents to assist their children with coping skills for now and the future.
We are a not for profit organisation and any proceeds from the sale of this book will be directed to the ongoing development and delivery of further community programs and services run by Southern Community Welfare.
Mr Jitters sells for $14.95 GST FREE with discounts for bulk purchases (10+ $12, 25+ $10). Postage charge on 1 book anywhere in Australia is $4.95. Bulk postage charges are shown on the order form.
To order a copy of either Mr Jitters or Everyday Jitters, phone our office on 9545 0299 or alternatively download the order form here.
We accept cheque, cash, Visa, MasterCard and EFTPOS.
