Each of us deals with stress in different aspects of life since we were young.
Exams and exam results are the major causes of stress in children.
Physical abnormality can also cause kids stress.
Kids usually find it hard to handle stress and the related problems may get worse when they grow up.
Too much stress can cause problems like upset stomach, annoyance, tantrums or total withdrawal of kids hence, it is necessary to know how to manage stress on kids properly.
It is the role of the parents/guardians as well as teachers to help them cope up through stress management.
Like any other relationships, communication is needed for parents to know and understand what the kid's problems are.
More often than not, kids do not tell their parents what are the things that are bothering him.
Therefore parents must be on the lookout of their kid's unusual actions.

Let your child know that you are always there to protect and support him.
