Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope that you are all doing well! As students enter these last few months of the 2022/23 school year, they begin taking many state tests, end of the year tests, and continue with their regular learning and all of the quizzes, tests and projects that come with that. While this is an exciting time for students and families to get to see the growth their child has made in learning over this year, it can also be a stressful time for many students.

I wanted to share a few tips for supporting your student with all of the potential stress they may be feeling. As you know stress is a natural part of our lives and has the added benefit of pushing us to succeed and to do things that we might not otherwise do. For some, stress can also be devastating, debilitating, and overwhelming. We would like for our students to experience healthy levels of stress, not the extreme feelings that cause them to not perform/function at their highest. There is a lot parents can do to help their student stay on the healthy, forward moving end of stress.

Listen: Talk to your student about how they are feeling and doing. To adults their stresses can seem minor because what adults face has greater consequences. Don't let that stand in the way of meeting your child where they are at and appreciating their view of what stresses they have. Just listen and ask them guiding questions to help them solve their situations/stresses.

Schedule: Ensure that they have a schedule that allows for down time, study time, and social time. Helping students learn to make this balance is an essential life skill. Often we forget to build enough down time into their day because it can feel weird to be idle - but this allows their brain to have a break and actually perform better later! Encourage them to help figure out the best timing for each of these. Planning ahead: planning ahead is part of scheduling, and includes noting when tests and projects are due. Marking them on a calendar and working backward to make time each day to meet the goal on time and not attempting to get everything done at the last minute.

Sleep: Children may think that they can stay up late and not need sleep to do their best, but science says differently. Elementary aged students need 9-12 hours of sleep per night to be fully rested. As they enter 13yrs and above, they need 8-10 hours. Here are some tips for sleep hygiene - incase your child is having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested in the morning.

Exercise: When we are stressed we build up stress hormones in our body, which make us feel more anxious and/or agitated, we think slower, and we don't perform as well. When we exercise, we are able to counteract the stress hormone build up in our body. Exercise can be anything with movement: running, jumping, sports, bicycle, walking, dancing, etc. Get them moving!

Mindfulness: Have them take time to just breathe. Encourage them to notice their breath as it moves into, through, and out of their body. Try grounding exercises - using the five senses, notice the environment. These are an efficient way to reset the brain!

Keep in touch if you need help with any of this.
