So how can our kids train their brains to be more mindful? And what’s the best way to help them on this journey?

Helping Kids & Teens Manage Their Stress
2025-08-26 | Youtube
There’s no one way to describe what stress looks or feels like for a child. Often kids don’t have the words to describe how they’re feeling, and so stress can manifest as many emotions or reactions that we may not assume are attributed to being stressed.
Being overloaded with stress or not knowing how to manage it can cause kids and teens to become anxious, withdrawn, aggressive, ill, or develop poor coping skills.

2025-08-20 | Youtube
School can be stressful at any age, and it’s perfectly natural for K-12 students to experience some level of anxiety. But for some kids and teens, school-related anxiety can grow so intense that it hinders their learning and mental well-being and might even lead them to avoid school altogether.
So how can parents, educators, and other adults recognize when anxiety is creating challenges for the students in their care? What is meant by “school refusal” behavior? And when might professional help be warranted?
