calm in this story about managing anxiety. Written by clinical
psychologist and mother-of three Lynn Jenkins, Lessons Of A LAC has
been branded as an emotional resource to help kids develop
strategies to manage their anxiety. And there are probably a few

“This wonderful book was written by an experienced Australian
clinical psychologist and it is full of valuable messages for
Little Anxious Creatures all over the world. We love that this book
offers skills to deal with anxiety and worries. It’s clever, funny
and USEFUL. Helping children think about their anxiety is the first
step in managing them. It opened up very useful conversations and I
must say it’s even helped my anxieties a little too with being
given the knowledge of some easy self-help tools! .”
