Book Description
An increasing number of children face feelings of anxiety and isolation, negatively impacting their mental health and wellbeing, as well as their attainment in school. Having battled social anxiety herself, Rachel Thynne knows first-hand how hard it can be to be misunderstood and receive little help. By understanding the communicative function of behaviours and seeing the person behind their actions, staff can learn to support and nurture pupils with consistency, empathy and positivity. This book explores anxiety in children and young people, unpicking social anxiety, situational mutism, school anxiety and separation anxiety within a school context, and shining a light on the importance of relationships, effective communication and self-regulation skills. A wealth of strength-based strategies are provided that can be implemented quickly and easily by busy school staff to alleviate anxiety, build self-esteem and increase feelings of safety and belonging. The book also supports sensitive and collaborative work with caregivers to achieve the biggest impact and includes real-life examples, case-studies and reflective opportunities to bring theory to life. Little adjustments can make a huge difference and have a positive, lifelong effect on the individual but also on the other pupils. Advocating for whole school approaches to create a culture where all pupils can thrive, Understanding Anxiety at School will enable school staff, including teachers and special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs), to recognise signs of anxiety and to provide support empathically and compassionately.

The New School of the Imagination

Author: John O'Meara
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595466176
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 52

Book Description
This essay offers a radical view of the post-Renaissance, Western literary scene inasmuch as Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy bears a relation to it, principally through his Mystery Plays. A number of major authors are highlighted as having an intrinsic connection with the Anthroposophical revelation'notably T.S. Eliot, and especially S.T. Coleridge. The prospect of a new cultural poetic for the future is outlined in connection especially with these two major figures of English critical-poetic tradition. Other authors that are considered include Wordsworth, Goethe, Lawrence, Yeats; Graves, Hughes; Milton, Swift, and Blake; Strindberg, Hemingway and Beckett. Steiner's Plays were never intended as Literature as we know that discipline today, but they provide a singular point of view from which the idea of Literature can be re-evaluated and new directions set forth that represent a transformed prospect for Literature in the future. Some of our most distinguished authors of the past are seen in a new light, as if it had been their struggle to reach out to the possibilities Steiner's Plays bring forth.
