Amelia is seriously stressed out. School homework and tests, friend issues, and softball practice are upsetting her and she’s ready to snap. Her mom realizes she’s feeling too much stress, and encourages her to do something to change her thinking from negative to positive. Counting to ten, having a healthy snack, listening to some good music, and tensing and releasing are some of the methods she shows Amelia. Soon Amelia is handling stress so much better and she can demonstrate these helpful ideas to her classmates.
Stress Stinks shows children positive ways to manage the stress in their lives. Tips for parents and educators are included in the appendix. I highly recommend this helpful book for kids.
