Parents: HOW CAN PARENTS HELP THEIR KIDS
WHEN THEY FEEL STRESSED
· · ·
- Spending time with your kids is the most
important thing you can do. Listen to them
when they talk to you. Try to understand
how they feel.
- We all need love and affection. Show your
children that you love them, with words,
hugs, and kisses.
- Do things with your children. It will
help them to feel that they belong in the
family. There are lots of things you can
do as a family. Exercise is a great way to
burn off stress. So make exercise part of
your family life. Play ball or other
games. Go for walks. Eat meals
together. Talk. Share ideas, fun, and
how you feel about things.
-Sometimes the best cure for stress is just to
have some quiet time. Kids need
some time on their own. Listening to
music, reading, or playing quietly may
help them feel better. Doing nothing
is fine too!
