Managing our worries

Author Ruth Doyle explains how A Horse Called Now by Ruth Doyle and Alexandra Finkeldey can help young children to manage their worries.

In A Horse Called Now, author Ruth Doyle explores the idea of mindfulness for young children; how we can live the 'now' and manage our feelings, particularly fear. The story helps children understand that it is okay to feel fear, and explores ways to deal with their anxieties.

Review:   'A Horse Called Now is a story about overcoming worries and living in the present. Mental health is a huge topic at the moment and it is so important for children to understand from a young age.'
