This Month's Topic: April is Stress Awareness Month
Stress levels in children and students are on the rise.
Helping children manage stress is an important part of supporting their overall well-being. As parents and caregivers, it can sometimes be hard to recognize the signs of stress in young children or know how to help them cope. The KidsHealth website offers a helpful resource that breaks down what stress is, how it affects children, and practical tips for guiding kids through tough emotions.
We encourage you to check out this article from KidsHealth for clear, parent-friendly advice: Understanding Childhood Stress. It’s a great starting point for learning how to talk with your child about stress and build healthy habits that promote emotional resilience at home and at school.
