Is your child over-stressed?

Recognizing signs of child stress is crucial for parents and teachers. Overstressed behavior can be subtle and not obvious, so understanding the underlying reasons for behavior is important. Twice exceptional children may struggle with self-regulation, while highly sensitive children may be easily overstimulated. It's common for children to resist school due to stress and evaluation, so differentiating between misbehavior and stress behavior is essential. Identifying triggers and causes can help reduce stress for children, and making a plan in advance helps parents respond effectively. Declaring the intention to stop yelling can lead to positive changes.
