The Anxious Classroom

Vital Everyday Strategies for Teachers to Help Children 4-11 Thrive
The essential classroom guide to help teachers understand and support anxious children in school specifically. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Emma Connor offers practical tools to help teachers recognise and respond to anxiety in the classroom.

Anxiety is one of the biggest challenges facing children in education today, cited as one of the main reasons children do not attend school. While many books help teachers understand mental health, few focus on anxiety - which school staff feel they know the least about.

Emma Connor offers a compassionate, practical toolkit for supporting anxious children in school. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, she combines attachment theory, neuroscience, and effective strategies that fit naturally into everyday teaching.

Warm, grounded, and deeply respectful of educators, this book empowers every member of the school community to build emotional safety, strengthen relationships, and create classrooms where children can truly thrive.
