WorryWoos story
Dr John first discovered the worrywoos in 2008 when he was assessing play material for use in pre-schools. After extensive trials and testing on over 1000 children, Dr John is convinced that the worrywoos offers the best Social and Emotional Literacy program available; the structure is easy and adaptable, teachers and students love the plush toys, and the guidelines he wrote for using the worrywoos in Australian early childhood centres and schools have been easily embraced by teachers. In an extensive pilot study conducted in 1918, teachers reported highly significant effects of the program in helping children understand and manage their various emotions like worry, confusion, jealousy, anger, insecurity, self-esteem, self-confidence, loss and loneliness
Because of the demand from parents to know more about how they can help their children cope with anxiety and frustration, Dr john has written two companion books “Helping young worriers beat the worry bug” and “Helping young children manage frustration and anger”,
