Stress

Help Students De-Stress for Success

Christopher Pepper is a ninth grade teacher in San Francisco.    He discussed stress and described how it may have a negative an impact on students in the classroom.   He stated that stress could cause health and problems.  He posted a video which showed how dangerous stress may be if left untreated. He talked about three solutions to reduce stress. 1.  Take a deep breath.  2.  Visualization, he asked students to think about place that is calm.   3.  Progressive relation, which involves low light and playing a recorded message from the health office. 

Teaching students about stress at an early age, will help them when they become adults.  Should educator teach students how to deal effectively with stress?
