Helping Children Cope with Stress
❶ To adults, childhood can seem to be happy and free from worries. But children still experience stress. Things like school and their social life can sometimes create pressures that are too difficult for them to deal with. While they may not talk about their troubles, they do want their parents to reach out and help them.
❷ Children deal with stress in both healthy and unhealthy ways. As a parent, you can't protect your children from stress, but you can help them develop healthy ways to cope with stress and solve everyday problems. By doing so, you not only help your children handle their current stresses, but also prepare them to deal with future stresses. Here are a few tips for you.
❸ When you notice that something is upsetting your child, you need to tell your child about it. If you can, name the feeling you think your child is experiencing. This shouldn't sound like blame. It's just a casual observation, and you're interested in hearing more about your child's concern. Be sympathetic and show that you care and want to understand.
❹ Also ask your child to tell you what's wrong. Listen attentively and calmly-with interest, patience, openness, and caring. Don't hurry to make judgements. Do not blame or criticize your child for what he or she has done. The idea is to listen to your child's concerns and feelings. Try to get the whole story by patiently asking questions. Take your time. And let your child take his or her time, too.
❺ Remember to be patient. As a parent, it hurts to see your child unhappy or stressed. But you should not try to solve every problem for your child. Instead, try to help your child grow into a good problem-solver-a child who knows how to deal with life's ups and downs, express feelings in words, calm down when needed, and never give in to difficulties.

【文章大意】帮助孩子应对压力
❶ 对成年人来说，童年似乎是快乐的，无忧无虑的。但孩子们仍然会感受到压力。像学校和社交生活这样的事情有时会给他们带来难以应对的压力。虽然他们可能不会谈论自己的烦恼，但他们确实希望父母伸出手来帮助他们。
❷ 孩子应对压力的方式既有健康的，也有不健康的。作为父母，你不能保护你的孩子免受压力，但你可以帮助他们发展健康的方式来应对压力和解决日常问题。通过这样做，你不仅帮助你的孩子处理他们当前的压力，而且还为他们应对未来的压力做好准备。这里有一些建议给你。
❸ 当你注意到有什么事情让你的孩子心烦意乱时，你需要告诉你的孩子。如果可以的话，说出你认为孩子正在经历的感觉。这听起来不应该像是责备。这只是一个偶然的观察，你有兴趣听到更多关于你孩子的担忧。要有同情心，表现出你的关心和理解。
❹ 也可以让你的孩子告诉你出了什么事。用心而冷静地倾听——带着兴趣、耐心、开放和关心。不要急于做出判断。不要因为孩子的所作所为而责备或批评他。这样做的目的是倾听孩子的担忧和感受。通过耐心地提问来了解整个故事。慢慢来。也让你的孩子慢慢来。
❺ 记住要有耐心。作为父母，看到你的孩子不开心或有压力是很痛苦的。但是你不应该试图为你的孩子解决每一个问题。相反，试着帮助你的孩子成长为一个善于解决问题的人——一个知道如何处理生活中的起伏，用语言表达感情，在需要的时候冷静下来，从不向困难屈服的孩子。
