Stress is a physical and emotional state of tension triggered by internal or external pressures characterized by feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and fatigue, impacting mental and physical well being.
There are several reasons why children may experience stress easily. Some common factors include –
- Academic pressure stresses children through excessive homework, high expectations and fear of failure impacting self esteem and happiness.
- Social issues such as bullying, peer conflicts and social media anxiety cause stress, eroding children’s confidence and well being.
- Family dynamics including divorce, financial struggles, parental conflict and unrealistic expectations create stress, insecurity and emotional turmoil in children.
- Children’s inability to regulate emotions, manage frustration and cope with feelings leads to stress, anxiety and emotional overload issues.
- Environmental factors such as poverty, violence, trauma and natural disasters expose children to stress, fear and emotional distress.
- Unrealistic expectations from parents, teachers or self imposed create undue pressure leading to stress, anxiety and decreased self esteem in children.
- Sleep deprivation disrupts children’s emotional regulation by causing irritability, anxiety and stress, impairing cognitive function and overall well being severely.
- Poor nutrition and unhealthy diets high in sugar and processed foods trigger stress, energy crashes and mood swings.
Reducing stress in children involves promoting healthy habits, open communication, emotional support and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, exercise and mindfulness, fostering a nurturing environment and balanced lifestyle.
