Stress Management

The lesson “Stress Management” teaches children about monitoring and managing emotions in a positive and productive manner. Children will learn about the physical and emotional impacts of stress and verbalize at least three situations in their own lives when they experience stress. Each child will learn and then vocalize at least three strategies to help minimize stress in their own life, such as thinking positive thoughts, stretching, and praying to Jesus for help. The lesson includes guided instructions for the teacher, including preparation, a script, and suggested activities to facilitate further learning in a fun and interactive manner. This lesson is designed for children between 6-8 years, and is the twelfth lesson in the 2nd Year Core Curriculum Set and part of the “Emotional Development” unit.
