Relieve Student Anxiety and Stress

By Deborah Myers

This is an excerpt from my recent article in the LA Tribune Magazine.

School is back in session. Are you watching your child struggle with academics, concentration, or emotional challenges? Maybe you’re noticing that the anxiety of returning to school still shows up, even weeks later. What is occurring is that worry and fear have become a pattern.

We know adults have situations that create emotional reactions and possible development of anxious patterns. Life can be just as complicated for kids.

Their challenges can be overwhelming and can affect many aspects of their lives:

• Academic Frustration: struggling with their studies
• Digital Distractions: excessive screen time and technology addiction
• Emotional Rollercoaster: battling anxiety, stress, or mood swings
• Behavioral Concerns: issues that need a positive approach
• Body Burnout: poor health and lack of sleep

We can easily get scared about the meaning of the word “anxiety” when that word is connected to a family member, especially a child.

But here’s the deal. Anxiety doesn’t have to be a “diagnosed disorder.” It can be a basic “state of being” in which the body exhibits a pattern of behavior that creates discomfort, worry, nervousness, or unease.

Here is what I know after working with acupressure clients of all ages for almost 30 years. The body WANTS energetic balance and harmony. Using your own fingertips to conduct self-help acupressure, you can manage your stress allowing your body to reprogram and repattern old ways of being.

I invite you to read my full LA Tribune article to discover more about how to manage stress and anxiousness with acupressure.
