Last week I talked about stress
busting and a reader asked me what I would suggest for students dealing
with stress. What a great question! Different activities depend on the age of
the student but here is a list of things that a teacher might use to help a
student who is under stress.
Stress from a current
situation:
Remove them from the situation and let them go somewhere to
calm down.
Count to 10 (or 50 or even 100).
Listening to calming music.
Stress in their lives
over time:
Deep breathing exercises.
Squeezing a stress ball (like in the picture)
Walking.
Aerobic exercises (jumping jacks, running)
Yoga exercises.
Writing in a journal.
Writing a letter to someone.
Listening to calming music.
Drawing or coloring.
Do you have any other suggestions that I might have left
off? Please share!
