Kids and Stress Levels

Kids may not be able to understand the reasons behind the growing confusion, anger, restlessness, sleepless nights, lack of concentration, low self-esteem, inability to socialize, baseless fears, and insecurities. 

However, parents themselves have gone through these phases at one point or the other in their life and they can relate very well to the tension levels among their children. Therefore, they need to take initiative and help children to calm down and diffuse stress out of their life.

Best Tips to Reduce Stress Levels in Kids

The undivided and unconditional love of parents to their children can shoo away any kind of confusion or tension in kids. Parents can take the following steps to shower love and give whole-hearted support to their children:

• Pay attention and provide exclusive time to your stressed-out kid. Switch off your mobile and laptops for some time when your kid wants you to be with him or her.
• Listen to his/ her thoughts, feelings, and fears. Allow him to open up and vent out whatever is going in his/ her head.
• Lend your shoulder and let him/ her cry for some time. Contrary to general belief, crying helps to relieve pain and reduce stress. It helps to maintain the emotional fitness of a person. 
• Do not let kids repress or hide their feelings. The sooner they share emotions, the better are the chances they will come out of the trauma/ pain.
• Show them the brighter side of the situation. Your kind and encouraging words will have a deep impact on the psyche of the child. You can turn a bad phase into a stepping stone and convert frowns into smiles.
• The unexpected situation, calamity, etc., like the CoronaVirus outbreak, causes kids to ponder over the future and may make them fear the consequences. Such time demands from parents to be extra vigilant, and loving towards kids. The parents need to avoid discussing the adverse situations in front of the kids to keep them calm.
• Play indoor games with kids as their age, this will refresh both of you.
