Anxiety in the classroom : how teachers can recognize and help students deal with their anxious feelings : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

All children (and teachers) can benefit from knowing how to effectively cope with their anxious feelings, but particularly those students whose lives are limited by anxiety, worry, and fear. This project provides readers with an understanding of anxiety in children and what it's like to live with this condition. It also discusses some practical classroom techniques and strategies that will help students handle anxious times in their lives. Teachers may use this resource to understand the problems of children in their classrooms and to teach children how to cope with anxious feelings in a healthy, positive manner. This project also includes a linked reference guide for teachers and parents, which contains links to Internet anxiety resources, anxiety children's literature, ways to deal with anxiety, and other helpful sites. This reference guide can be accessed at www.bsu.edu/web/rmschroeder/anxietyinchildren.html.
