Question

Is anyone having the problem of a stressed out child?

Advice?

Answer 1

Well I'm not a mother or a father but I have a brother that had problems and I too have problems with school and I'm 13 and everyday I get bullied, but maybe your son is seeking your or someones attention or maybe your sons getting bullied and needs help or you could have a talk with him and really think about your life when you were six and try to understand him and think about when you were six and how you could relate to his problems or try getting a concealer like I have requested to my mom and maybe hes not fitting in with the other children or something happened that he had seen or done or maybe hes alone at recess or he needs someone to talk to and try your best to talk to him by understanding him OK and good luck! Oh and maybe hes ADD or ADHD and it could be making an effect on others.

Answer 4

First of all take your child to the doctor and see what they think, talk to them and see if anything is worrying them, If it is stress related the doctor will be able to put you in contact with the appropriate agencies.

Answer 5

Stress in early childhood is becoming more common these days.  With so much testing and "accountability" we find kindergarteners studying and parents frazzled.  This does not go unnoticed to children's psyche.  

With that said, is your child eating ok at home?  Is he fidgety at breakfast?  Does he show any signs that he does not want to attend school?

There are all kinds of reasons why he could be stressed, from anxiety over schoolwork to a bully or a scary adult.  You need to casually gain more information.  You should also talk to his teacher.  See if she can watch for signs of anxiety at specific times during the day (right before recess, or maybe during math time, something like that).  Once he starts to share more information with you (or another adult he trusts) and you have a picture of what's going on with him during the day when you can't observe him yourself, you'll have a better idea of what course of action to take.

my step son was having a lot of problems last year he couldn't read ( first grade ) and it took us an hour (at least) every night to get his home work done...we never had him diagnosed with anything, but this was a time when his mother was comming in and out of his life often so that was what was bothering him...we held him back and he had a different teacher ( not to mention we moved districts ) and his teacher said he is the smartest kid in the class he is reading at a 3rd grade level now...he hasn't seen his mother in 7 months...so he is doing well....do what you can to relieve his stress take him to a therapist we did this and it totally changed him...
