Forever present in humans is the stimulus called stress! It's a psychological self that happens voluntarily, even if we don't engage in any strenuous activities. In fact, even if we stay indoors always or carry out our usual light hassles, the pressure and demands of things around us can also cause anxiety. Apart from that, growing itself is stressful, and life is completely full of it.
Let’s explore the kids' stress management skills and some potential effects of anxiety on children. Before that, here’s a question to answer…
Can a Child Be Stressed? Yes! An absolute yes–but how? Children experience stress as a normal response to changes and challenges faced every day. They feel it right from the various homework given, activities done, and lots more. Though it might not be as much as that of adults, little do we know that little stress on a daily basis can cause certain health issues. Recent statistics from the CDC even show the majority of these kids' stress is caused by social and school-related pressures.
Like elephants, implementing “soft heart but strong hands” care can help us manage our ward stress. For the present world we live in is ever-changing and fully occupied with unstoppable stress. Therefore, grooming our kids with superb stress-relieving skills from professional mental health speakers for school is highly important.
On this note, SpeakerAgency recommends the seven kids’ stress management practices as follows:
1. Plan Every Day
First above all, childhood stress counseling involves planning all activities at home. Every day must not be spent as it comes. We can create a weekly timetable or use planning apps that guide us on how to execute our daily tasks in the appropriate order. As a matter of fact, our plans must include both personal engagement and kids’ day to day routines in order to strike a balance. Perfecting it well, we can even block certain stress-free schedules, such as leisure time, study hours, assignment sessions, and all, so as to prevent childhood stress effects.
2. Stop Procrastinating
With both life actions and self-instructions, always teach your children to solve every problem as it comes because the enemy of progress is procrastination. Although they may face unexpected tasks from time to time, let's make sure they are encouraged to carry them out as soon as possible. In addition to these, the idea of thinking with them, setting “must do” principles, or doing deep research is a good step to take.
2. Always Stick to Plan
Interpreting one of Napoleon Hill's popular quotes, plans without actions are nothing but a waste of time. What's the reason behind using a daily planner which won't be followed? Therefore, let's always stick to every plan with effective study of how we handle them. Lest we forget our daily plan is our roadmap to life success.
4. Teach Healthy Principles
Training kids with simple health practices is one of the lasting means to help your child relieve stress. Not all childhood stress and trauma occur through physical activities. Some occur through emotional damage and social pressure. Take, for instance, a child having exams in a week or worried about a friend not seen for days; it's certain children like this will be eager to express themselves. However, in any of these cases, there is no problem for children having full mental health practices such as:
Recent reports show that sleeping is a phenomenal action for our overall well-being. After long schooling periods, our youngsters need at least 8 hours of sleep at night. No matter how much unfinished homework they have left or friends to call at the end of the day, let's be time-conscious and ensure they go to bed early. While doing that, we must also ensure our sleeping environment isn't noisy by turning off screens and wind down buzzing windows.
No matter how tough the situation may be, never say negative words to your kids. Let's always speak life into them. For the things we say have the power to mar or make our children. Thus, learn to use your tongue positively to say confidence building words and not discouraging ones that add to anxiety. Ease every test pressure by praising them for a job well done or practicing positive mental push. Over and above, let's also help our kids with their flaws in a mature way.
Amidst every other practice, providing foods rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids is one of the natural ways of protecting our kids from stress. Feeding them snacks or junk 24/7 isn't a perfect way to ease the whole stress. Instead, we can do well to prepare holistic foods having energetic nutrients. In fact, similar to the way we plan every day, we can also create a dietary regimen with nothing less than three times homemade foods per day.
Out of all proportion, childhood stress and anxiety can lead to an array of medical and social problems. Be it physical or emotional, stress not managed well with kids may develop serious medical problems, including:
Judging by the above effects, as a compassionate caregiver with kids' mental health at heart, it's high time we stop childhood stress and take the necessary skills to improve our home. On this note and at this period of children's mental health week (3rd Feb to 9th February 2025), let's cooperatively manage our kids' stress with the above unique measure or seek a medical expert if you notice any kids’ stress effects in your home.
