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.
- What is Stress? Students discover what stress is and how it impacts their emotions, body and health if it's not managed properly.
- Stressed or Not Stressed? Students reflect on stressful situations and begin to think about ways they can cope.
- Deep Breathing. Students learn a series of deep breathing exercises that will help them manage stress and restore a more balanced, positive attitude.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Puzzle Solver. Students learn to break down problems into smaller ones so they can tackle them proactively.
-
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.
