Is Your Student Stressed?
Stress is, unfortunately, a normal part of college life. Helping your student deal with stress will make the journey to graduate much smoother.
- Ask your students if they are feeling overwhelmed. Make sure they know that you will listen, even if you may not always understand the demands of college.
- Make sure your student is eating healthy meals. It’s easy to grab a snack or fast food between classes, but it should not be the norm. Poor eating habits combined with stress can break down the body’s immune system.
- Exercise is a great way to beat stress. Plan a family hike or neighborhood walks.
- If you think your student is not handling stress or needs tips on limiting stress, encourage him or her to reach out to Counseling and Testing.
