Children and Stress: Understanding and Helping

Stressful life events for children include losing a parent, moving, getting lost, being laughed at by peers, being retained, taking tests, and much more. In this book, veteran educators have culled from their experience and knowledge the most useful insights and advice they can offer about children's stress. The authors believe that adults, especially parents and educators, can assist and advocate for today's children. Each chapter contains illustrative cases to assist with awareness, theory, and research to increase understanding, as well as suggested courses and resources to consider for action.
