For parents of stressed kids, Stressed Out!: Solutions to Help Your Child Manage and Overcome Stress is an easy-to-read guide to understanding children's stress, its effects on their day-to-day lives, and how to handle it. The book suggests stress management solutions for children that can be implemented by even the busiest parents and kids, focusing on a variety of common stressful situations that are grouped according to three categories--school, family, and environmental. Strategies include sample dialogues parents can use in conversation with their child and activities to help children gain insight and understanding into the nature of their stress, such as worksheets, role-play scenarios, or children's stories. Designed for maximum accessibility, parents and their stressed, worried, or anxious children can immediately apply and reinforce the solutions.
