How to manage the stress of the child
A child's school life is beginning to know the unknown world. In other words, the unveiling of this unknown new world to our children creates stress normally. Because they can't talk to their parents or guardian about this. But after being emotionally upset there is the starting of the stress.
At this age, children have additional benefits to understand more about the world around them. Breathing exercises are ideal for helping to calm them down physically when they are depressed, and children of this age can be taught to use their imagination in a way that is similar to using adult meditation. They may verbally go through the quiet process and be encouraged to imagine a happy place, somewhere familiar or make-up that they feel comfortable living in, and then start imagining other details to make them happy. They may want to look at pictures of loved ones or family pets. This process helps them move their minds away from things and encourages positive thinking and situations to make them feel happier and more secure. This is a technique they can learn to use on their own without parental guidance so that they can stay away from home.

Stress and tension. These are two enemies of students these days. The attitude of the parents is adding oil to the fire. Every parent wants his/her ward to stand first in the class in all aspects. They never leave their wards without explaining them hundred and one advantages they will have if they get first rank in the school. I think this is the main reason for the tension and stress of the students. I think parents should change their attitude. Instead of seeing the ranks and the marks, if we encourage the children by expressing our happiness on their performance and trying to explain them the way they have to pursue their studies, it will make a lot of difference.
