You are here: Home Teaching Resources Build a Partnership with Parents Teaching Tip of the Week Teaching Kids How to Manage Stress (Teaching Tip #98)
In this Teaching Tip I provide a link to a short YouTube video I created. The video features an activity I do with my students each fall as part of our “Health Champions†unit. The activity involves 1) brainstorming a variety of ways in which we can relax when we feel worried, nervous, or anxious about something and 2) creating a simple visual to help each child remember the 3-4 strategies that work the best for them. Learning how to manage stress is an important topic, and this activity helps kids effectively address this need. Give these ideas a try in class with your students or at home with your children.
