Get help if you or your child is overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Learn simple, practical strategies, and how to get professional help for anxiety in school and in life.
Find a calm time to talk about ways to make things less stressful. For instance, would it help to ask Grandma to give high fives instead of hugs? Or to explain to your host that there are certain foods you just can’t eat?
Explain that stress can come out in different ways — like stomachaches — and there are things they can do to cope with those feelings.
Try having kids do the easiest, quickest assignments first. That way, they’ll feel good about getting a task done — and may be less anxious about the rest of the homework.
Learn how to look calm even if you don’t feel calm — and why this is the single most important step in managing your child’s tantrums or outbursts.
