Have you ever been afraid to try something new? IN an environment which every corner holds a threat? This book addresses the most extreme cases of being restricted by fear and anxiety in a squirrel who positively commits to a life of self-preservation.
The book follows the regiment of Scaredy Squirrel, a rodent with a plan for every potential threat. His intolerance to novelty goes awry when life throws him a curve ball and he must discover that his fears have kept him from living outside of the acorn tree, which has been his safe haven.
Children and adults may relate to this hilarious tale in examining the ridiculous ways we avoid harm, and shrink our world through anxiety.
This blog is dedicated to drawing together information, resources and help for those in the counselling profession, who are caring for youth and those who are looking to find professional resources and are supporting young people through difficulties. The resources I discover and use successfully I will post here, including books, activities, exercises and theory. Items posted are at the discretion of the reader to use as they wish and not meant to replace professional counselling services.
