Coping with Stress
Stress is a normal part of life, but how we manage it can make all the difference in the world. There are many things a person can do to manage stress, including limiting alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine, getting more sleep and exercise, eating healthier, quiet time, social support, and realistic expectations. The attached article discusses some of these and others.
School Shootings
We are living in frightening times. Children should not have to be afraid to go to schools, but many are due to school shootings, sexual assaults, and bullying behavior. The link provided will direct you to a website that contains resources for violence in schools. However, if your child is exhibiting fear that is getting in the way of enjoying life, reach out to a counselor. Also, if your child is talking about guns, violence, shootings, anger towards people at school, please get them counseling to determine if they are a danger to others. And, if you have guns in the home, lock them up.
