Mini-Lesson: Managing Stress

 The end of the school year can be a stressful time.  Today let's learn about stress and how to manage it!  First watch this Health Science video for kids about stress.  


Now watch my video mini-lesson!

Follow Up Activities:

  • Stress can be helpful.  Write or talk to someone about a time that stress actually helped you get something done or try something new.
  • Here is a list of the strategies Mrs. G recommends when your stress level is high.  Which strategies work for you when you feel stressed?  Draw or write about them!
    • Take some deep breaths or use a breathing strategy like square breathing.
    • Check in with yourself.  What is your stress level?
    • Make a list of the things that are causing you stress.  This could end up being a to-do list that can help you organize your time.
    • Make time for stress relief!  Examples:
      • Time outside
      • Exercise
      • Reading or writing
      • Drawing or music
      • Time with friends or family
    • Give yourself kind messages! Examples:
      • "I am doing the best I can!"
      • "One thing at a time."
      • "I got this!"
    • Talk to an adult that you trust about your stress.  This may involve problem solving or taking things off your plate.
