Helping Children Combat Stress
Alice Honig publishes new book with insights from 30+ years experience
Professor emerita of child development, and celebrated early childhood expert, Alice Sterling Honig, has developed Little Kids, Big Worries: Stress-Busting Tips for Early Childhood Classrooms, a new guidebook for early childhood professionals to help them address the most common causes of stress in a young child’s life, from separation anxiety and bullying, to jealousy and family circumstances. Dr. Honig’s book is a practical tool that helps professionals not only identify stress in young children but gives them the information they need to intervene in these situations with proven relief strategies before pressures turn into major problems. Her new book offers memorable stories and down-to-earth, easy-to-use ideas, giving professionals tools to conquer stress in any early childhood setting—so children can develop the early social and academic skills they'll need to succeed in school.
With solutions that include redirecting rather than reprimanding, teaching children problem-solving strategies and ways to use open-ended questions to pinpoint a child’s fears, Dr. Honig's 30+ years of experience shows readers how these stress-busters can make a real difference in children's lives, and the questions at the end of each chapter are ideal aids for self-study or professional development courses.
