The Cats Got My Tongue- A book about Shyness and Performance Anxiety: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Cats Got My Tongue- A book about Shyness and Performance Anxiety" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Vast amounts of research suggest that promoting resilience (such as constructive use of our uncomfortable feelings) reduces the risk of children later developing behavioral problems, being bullied or bullying others, having substance abuse, mental illness, suicide and school dropout. Resilience can also promote academic performance and can even improve treatment outcomes in adults with anxiety and depression.
Treating emotional and social problems when they have already developed is more difficult and costly than preventing it. We need to be instilling our children with skills early in life to prevent problems from happening.
The message is clear: Everyone will be, confronted with life challenges and stress, no matter what age. Uncomfortable feelings are also normal. Once we accept this and can identify our feelings, we then have choices about how to deal with them constructively. This empowers children and families, reduces helplessness and brings hope. Resilience is a lifetime priceless gift we can teach our children with endless benefits.

I have a pet cat, called Matt, who no one can see.
Matt says that everyone will look at me.
Matt tells me people will laugh if I make a mistake
And that they will think I am a real fake.
He grabs my tongue when Im about to speak.
Matt pulls my legs so theyre wobbly and weak,
When I meet anyone new
And when I talk in front of the class too.
He says he tries to save me from the shame
Of having other kids say I am lame.
Matt says I dont need friends because I have him.
But I still feel alone and wish I could go out on a limb.
Other kids seem so happy and dont have a cat called Matt.
Who follows them around and makes them feel flat.
I feel like hiding when Matt grabs my tongue.
Mum tells me to relax because Im highly strung.
In front of people, my words come out as a little peep.
All my thoughts and feelings are hidden inside, so deep.
My heart is racing, my palms are sweating.
It is what Matt tells me that causes the fretting.
I worry that I will be laughed at
Or is it just Matt
Who tells me Im not as good
As other kids and should wear a hood
To hide my worried face
In case I dont win that race.
I wonder Will the other kids think I am dumb,
If I dont get full marks but get a downward thumb,
Because I didnt finish the test.
I was too nervous to finish the rest.
One day, a new girl, May,
Came home to play.
Mum said She is special like you.
Youll see that other kids feel the same way too.
May seemed quiet at first and a little shy.
She held onto her mothers skirt as she whispered Hi.
May is as quiet as she can be.
It is then that I can see
That she also has a cat called Matt.
Im not the only one with a pet like that.
Our mums tell us to go away and play.
Around our mums we want to stay.
But off we go to play dress-ups and feel a world away.
May and I end up having so much fun.
We even play in the yard and go for a run.
We dance around . We laugh. We sing.
Our play date sadly ends when we hear Mums phone ring.
May says she is glad she had come to play
Even though she was nervous about this day,
She thought I wouldnt like her.
I laugh and say It looks like we both were.
I now know that Matt tells me things which arent true
And its very important to look for every clue,
To see if I should ignore what he tells me to do.
When Matt says Hide, or cry,
Dont even try.
The next time he tells me that I will fail
Or that behind the other kids I will trail,
I will ignore him and be brave.
No longer will I be Matts slave.
From time to time Matt comes around,
But with my new brave face I do astound
My Mum and Dad with how much I try
Even when Matt keeps asking me why?
Now I say Thats enough chatter! Bye, Matt!
Then run around with new friends, wearing my new brave hat.
