Academic Pressure
Look for signs of excessive worrying about grades, avoidance of school-related topics, or negative self-talk. Encourage open communication, help set realistic goals, and consider seeking support from school counselors.
Behavioral Changes
Observe alterations in behavior such as increased irritability, withdrawal, or aggression. Provide a stable environment, consistent routines, and consider professional help if needed.
Changes in Eating Habits
Be alert to changes such as loss of appetite or overeating. Promote healthy eating habits, maintain a regular meal schedule, and consult a pediatrician or nutritionist if concerns persist.
Sleep Disturbances
Monitor for difficulties such as trouble falling asleep, nightmares, or frequent waking. Establish a calming bedtime routine, ensure a comfortable sleep environment, and seek advice if problems continue.
Physical Complaints
Pay attention to frequent complaints about headaches or stomachaches that have no medical cause. Encourage expression of feelings, stress management techniques, and consult a healthcare provider for guidance.
Difficulty Concentrating
Notice if a child is having trouble paying attention, following directions, or is easily distracted. Provide a structured and quiet environment for tasks, break down assignments into smaller parts, and praise efforts and focus.
Emotional Outbursts
Witnessing unexpected crying, yelling, or expressions of frustration might indicate stress. Acknowledge their feelings, teach emotional regulation strategies, and create a safe space for them to express themselves.
Decline in Academic Performance
A noticeable drop in grades or quality of school work can be a sign of stress. Discuss the importance of balance, help prioritize tasks, and strengthen their organizational skills.
