Kids Have
Worries Too
SCRANTON (Lackawanna
Co.) — Which one of the follow
ing two situations do you think
would cause your child more
stress: facing an operation or hav
ing to give a report in class?
Most parents wojild be inclined
to pick the “operation” answer and
they are wrong.
A study being conducted by the
University of Colorado with 2,000
kindergartners through ninth
graders is revealing that children
aren’t worrying about major catas
trophes like the end of die world
or nuclear war. They’re more wor
ried about getting a bad grade on a
test or having the teacher yell at
them in front of the class.
Children’s biggest fears are los
ing a parent and going blind. Next
on their list are being held back a
grade, wetting in class, being sus
pected of lying or stealing and
being sent to the principal’s office.
Way down on their list are events
that parents may think are more
threatening like having an opera
tion or adjusting to a new baby in
the house.
Before parents can help their
children overcome their anxieties,
they need to have a clearer under
standing of what really troubles
children.
There are simple steps parents
can take with children that go a
long way toward easing their
stress. Here’s what the experts
advise:
• Let children solve problems
on their own. Antoinette Saun
ders, PhD, author and director of
the Stress Education Center For
Children And Their Families in
Evanston, Illinois, teaches kids a
five-step problem-solving process
that works in any situation: relax,
understand the problem; outline
the options; rate the possible out
comes; choose the best solution.
• Set aside time each day to
really listen to your child’s
problems.
• Pay attention to praise. Child
ren should be praised not just for
their achievements but also for
their performances. If kids are
praised only for their outstanding
report cards or test grades, then
they struggle to try to achieve at
that high level. It’s important to
praise children for who they are as
people, too.
Be aware of when your children
may be feeling stressed out and try
to help them cope with it. Remem
ber, it’s a fact of life - everyone
experiences stress. Help your
children handle stress by talking
out their problems with them and
making sure they get their exer
cise and eat properly.
