Stress Management: Helping Your Child With Stress

Overview

Stress can come from outside, such as family, friends, and school. It can also come from children themselves. Just like adults, children may expect too much of themselves and then feel stressed when they feel that they have failed.

Adults can help children and teens manage stress in many ways. Three important things you can do are to try to reduce the amount of stress in their lives, help them build positive coping skills, and teach them to let stress out.
