1. Invite them to talk – Listening and talking are powerful tools. Ask your kids about their day and express genuine interest. Encourage them to share their feelings. Let them know it's ok to have some feelings of stress.
2. Unplug – Remind your children that it's necessary to take a break from technology and take time to relax, exercise and play.
3. Impart life skills – Teach your kids positive coping skills, such as time-management and problem-solving. This can help them effectively manage their workload and emotions.
4. Re-establish healthy eating sleeping habits – Healthy food and enough sleep will help your child’s body handle stress. So, make sure their nutrition and sleep schedule are on track.
5. Dispense wisdom – Give your children words of wisdom that will help them cope and feel empowered. Sometimes, words of affirmations are enough to lighten their burden.
6. Give a comforting hug – A hug is more powerful than you think. A hug can communicate love and understanding more than words ever can.
7. Set up a regular routine – Create a regular schedule and stick to it. This makes the tasks ahead more doable and better to manage.
8. Spend quality time together – Spend quality time with your kids talking, taking a nature walk or just doing fun activities. This is a great way to reconnect and lay down stress.
9. Encourage physical exercise – Exercise releases endorphins, which is the body's personal natural stress reliever. Urge your children to participate in physical activities that they enjoy.
10. Look for help together – If you feel your child needs more assistance, seek help from a counselor or psychologist. A professional can give advice tailored to your kid's needs.
Helping your children to find successful, healthy ways to address and reduce stress can set them up for success in life. We hope these 10 ways will help you give your kids the support they need.
