Kids Have Stress Too Grades 4 to 6

Page history last edited by Corinne Hansen 5 years ago



 

With the help of a range of educators, psychologists and stress experts from across the country, the Psychology Foundation of Canada has developed the Kids Have Stress Too!® program for children

 

PFC’s school-based programs have been developed to help teachers and others who work with school-age children promote positive social-emotional development and effective stress management in classrooms and recreational settings.

 

 

Grades 4 to 6 - Stress Lessons                                                                            

 

This research-based program is built on an experiential learning approach. Its aim is to help educators create teachable moments to introduce stress management strategies and build emotional resiliency.

 

  1.  What is Stress? Students discover what stress is and how it impacts their emotions, body and health if it's not managed properly.
  2. Stressed or Not Stressed? Students reflect on stressful situations and begin to think about ways they can cope. 
  3. Deep Breathing. Students learn a series of deep breathing exercises that will help them manage stress and restore a more balanced, positive attitude. 

  4. Hooked on Stress!  Students recognize that stressful situations can sometimes trigger negative responses and learn how to react to situations in a more positive way.

  5. Fears and Worries. Students think about their fears and worries in a realistic and productive way so that they are equipped to manage situations that make them anxious or afraid.

  6. Puzzle Solver. Students learn to break down problems into smaller ones so they can tackle them proactively. 

  7. Want to Bust Stress? Express Yourself! Students review learnings from previous lessons in a fun way and explore creative self-expression as an effective stress buster.
