How often do you get stressed out from everything that you have to do at work and at home? Does it happen quite a lot? Now think about your kids. Observe them with a bit more care. How often do your little ones get stressed out? How intense do things get for them?
The obsessions with grades, school, and expectations have drowned our younger generation in a great deal of stress. It is high time that we started acting to de-stress our little ones. What are the things that can be done in this regard?
Responsible Parenting
On a lot of occasions, it is we parents who end up causing stress for our children. We tend to place too many burdens on their young shoulders, and this usually happens as part of actions that we deem to be in the best interests of our children. Therefore, parents should be at the center of the de-stressing strategy. We need to redefine what responsible parenting means. Parents should spend more time with their kids. They must build strong relationships with their kids which encourages the latter to believe that they can share any of their problems with their parents. Such parent-child relationships and bonding would make it easier to identify when your children get stressed out as well as the reasons behind it. This ensures better redressal or de-stressing.
Don’t forget playtime
Are we making our kids sacrifice their playtime? Well, we never should. We need to realize that and make sure that they spend adequate time on the thing that they need the most – play. Let them play outdoors and let them play indoors as well. Our kids learn a lot of things when they play. Many of the vital life skills that define people and help them succeed are acquired in fruitful childhoods which give adequate scope for play. Playtime acts as a vent to stress. Denial of playtime, therefore, leads to a build-up of stress.
Picking up a hobby
This is an area that can accommodate a lot of creativity. Help your child find something that is in sync with her interest. There is an endless list of hobbies that can be suggested. Reading is one of the best options. However, while picking a hobby it is wise to ensure that it is something that your child enjoys or else you would have to make a proactive effort to ensure that your child starts to like the activity. If your child likes to learn a musical instrument, then get her enrolled for that. If she loves to dance maybe she can join a dance class. You could enroll her for some sport as well if she is interested in it. Hobbies can act as an effective vent for stress.
Work out
Physical activity is a necessity that tends to get neglected today. People across age groups should be spending more time on it. Exercising regularly keeps your child fit, saves her in the future from the pangs of lifestyle diseases and makes sure that she gets a chance to de-stress. You could indulge in such activity along with your child. Try out activities such as yoga or meditation as well. Such practices have been shown to produce a number of benefits including most importantly the quality of reducing stress.
Ease of learning
The academic sphere needs to be discussed more while speaking about the issue of stress among children. Bringing in creative, stress-free modes of learning should receive priority. Online learning videos can help with a great deal. Your kids can learn with the help of this medium at their choice of time and place. They can learn in the comfort of their own rooms. Such learning ensures that kids have a solid grasp of the topics and feel confident about themselves. All this invariably results in a de-stressing of the academic sphere.
Stress is one of the most severe problems that is haunting our kids today. It is time we speak more about this issue and do what is necessary. A multi-pronged approach is needed, and we have absolutely no time to waste. Let’s start the process to de-stress our little ones straightaway!
