Dealing With Childhood Stress
April 13, 2008 at 1:26 PM
Child Health News
Strange as it may sound, stress is a necessary part of life. Without the stress of everyday things, life would get pretty boring. You and your child wouldnt have to deal with the everyday events that make you think, respond to problems and grow. Too little stress can be as bad as too much stress because constant boredom can make you feel sad and even depressed.
The key to the balancing act is stress management - so try these stress busters:
Make sure your child eats right and gets plenty of exercise and rest.
Tell them to listen to music.
Let them draw.
Inspire your child to write.
Encourage them to play with the dog.
Allow them to talk it out. Dont force your child, but give them lots of opportunities.
Discourage the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs.
Help them to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Instead of saying, "Im stupid," encourage your child to say, "we all make mistakes."
Laugh together - rent a fun family film or go outdoors and have a snowball or water pistol fight.
Encourage your school-ager or teen to start a hobby.
Relax - lighten up their load. Does your child really need a half dozen after-school activities? Good old-fashioned play is a great stress buster.
Worried that your child may be stressed out already? If they have any of these signs, talk to your health care provider:
