Stress

Why are our children stressed?
The main causes
Why are children more and more stressed?
Of course, there are major sources of stress, experienced in early childhood.
But stress, which is increasingly present in our children, is mainly linked to our Western way of life.
⭐small daily stresses:
All the little phrases we hear every day: “Hurry up, you’re going to be late for school!” “Come on, eat! “No, now is not the time, hurry up”
These are words that are repeated daily, which creates an atmosphere of family stress. This atmosphere is especially present in the morning before school, which does not help to start the day serenely...

⭐family problems
School is not the only source of stress for our children! Separation, unemployment, illness, arguments, problems at work… adult problems can be the source of children's stress.
Or if they are not the first source of stress, they can contribute to increasing it: children talk less easily about their worries, their anxieties when they know that the adults themselves are in a complex situation and are experiencing important concerns.

⭐relationship and comparison to others
Children and especially teenagers naturally compare themselves to others and ask themselves: Am I normal? Am I like the others? How to be accepted in such a group? Why am I worse than the others? Why does my sister get there and not me?
These questions are completely normal, but for a child of anxious nature they can generate unbearable stress on a daily basis. Especially since the answers he will find can be completely invented and far from reality: children, stressed or not, sometimes tell stories in their heads that can be much more stressful than objective reality.
