The Way To Beat Stress

It’s not only us (adults) who get stressed.  Our kids get stressed too especially when things get tough in school.  To ease tension and calm frayed nerves, have your child press the crease of her wrist directly below the pinkie.  It is an acupressure point known as Shen Men or Spirit Gate.

Let her do it for a count of three, then release.  Instruct your child to repeat it three times, once or twice a day.  According to experts, acupressure appears to positively affect involuntary brain functions like heart rate, as well as cognitive abilities like perception and thinking.  This will significantly help your child relax.  Stimulating this point also help boost your child’s resilience, so the next time stress looms, she can deftly dealt with it.
