Helping children with stress and anxiety
I’ve seen a number of kids with stress and anxiety+++ in the last week. It’s common isn’t it?
Besides safety issues, some of the favorite questions I usually like to ask myself are…
Who is this child?
What are their observable values?
What is their “thinking style”?
Why are they or their “personality” mismatching from their environments? Think “fish out of water”.
And when stressed, do they tend to flight, fight or freeze?
The answers to the above may guide management more effectively from a counseling point of view.
