LESSONS of a LAC - How do you explain anxiety to children? Meet 'Loppy the LAC' and 'Curly Calmster.'Loppy,' a Little Anxious Creature (LAC) and 'Curly' who creates calm and peace, are the two key characters in the Lessons of a LAC book series, an innovative series to help children manage anxiety.

Written specifically by a clinical psychologist Lynn Jenkins, and illustrated by illustrator/art therapist Kirrili Lonergan, Lessons of a LAC provides children a very simple way to understand their anxious thoughts and feelings. Childhood anxiety can manifest itself with varying levels of intensity. Whether they’re little worriers or more prominent anxiety sufferers, this early intervention picture book series, aimed at preschoolers to year 6 students, gives kids tools to manage anxiety.

The Lessons of a LAC series is ideal for parents, caregivers and teachers to manage kids’ anxieties. It is also the focus of a unique school program to assist kids’ emotional and social development.

Lynn Jenkins and Kirrili Lonergan are a dynamic duo, passionate about early intervention and guiding children to reach optimal social and emotional well-being. The Lessons of a LAC books, products and packages have evolved from an increased interest from schools and parents in assisting children to manage their worries, be it big or small! Together they created the Lessons of a LAC Anxiety Management Program which they present regularly at schools and conferences. These sessions incorporate information, delivered both verbally and with the use of many visual aids. They aim to leave children with a tool belt of anxiety management strategies.

“We are passionate about giving children ways to think and manage common emotional difficulties as they emotionally develop.”
