California Surgeon General’s Playbook: Stress Relief for Caregivers and Kids
Many of us are feeling a lot of stress right now. Even for adults, it can be tough to recognize that what we feel as irritability, difficulty focusing, insomnia or changes in appetite can actually be signs that our bodies are feeling the effects of stress. For kids, no matter the age, their brains and bodies are even more vulnerable to the harmful effects of stress than adults, and most often, they aren’t able recognize or verbalize it. Stress in kids may show up differently than our stress as adults do. This Stress-Busting Playbook can help you understand what to look out for and what you can do to protect your family’s health.
