Stress in children and teens: our current guide
What this page said
The page described a program for mothers who were busy, tired and stressed, sometimes with stress symptoms such as sleep problems, headache or shortness of breath. It covered relaxation, positive thinking, exercise and family relationships, along with strategies for raising a calmer, more in-control child in a distracting world.
Each weekly session combined experiential learning, tips for the parent and the child, a discussion period and a guided meditation. Benefits listed included reducing stress with breathing and imagery. A holiday stress page on the site came from the same program's director.
