Young children tend to blame themselves for everything that go wrong in their emotional world. Every new situation they face can cause a lot of anxiety and things that seem small and insignificant to others can bring on a barrage of tears and tantrums.A child’s world normally consists of home, school and outside activities. When faced with demands, insecurity or tension in either of these areas a child’s stress levels will rise. Physical stress like illness, poor nutrition or lack of sufficient rest will also put their world into turmoil.
Stress in childhood can come from the following areas.
- Too busy schedules. Running to activities from morning to night can put a lot of pressure on a child. Every activity demands something from the child, be it energy or brainpower. This can lead to chronic fatigue and stress.
- Bullying can take many forms. Verbal, emotional or physical abuse by other children (or even adults!) at school or home can have a severe influence on a child’s self-image. Jumping in and sorting the problem for them may not be the wisest option in the long-run. It may still leave the child feeling helpless and weak in the end. If a child is able, through coaching and advice from a parent, to deal with the situation himself he will feel empowered instead of victimized.
- Disappointment can cause emotional meltdown in children who have unreasonable expectations of themselves. Failing at something can leave them angry with themselves. They may also get upset with others who they may perceive as letting them down. Talking through the issue and explaining to them that disappointment is an inevitable part of life may help them cope better in future.
- Insufficient rest. How much sleep does a child need?
- At 1-4 months old – 15 to 16 hours per day.
- 4-12 months old – 14 to 15 hours of sleep
- 1-3 years old – 12 to 14 hours of sleep
- 3-6 years needs 10 – 12 hours a day.
- 7-12 years needs 10 – 11 hours per day
- 12-18 years needs 8 – 9 hours of sleep per day.
Adults struggle to cope with sleep deprivation and children even more so.
