All about Managing Stress
Stress is the feeling of pressure or worry that your body experiences when something feels difficult or threatening. A little stress can help you focus, but ongoing stress can make you tired, irritable and unable to sleep well.
Ways to manage stress include exercising, getting enough sleep, breathing slowly, talking to someone you trust, doing something you enjoy and breaking big tasks into smaller steps. If stress feels too much for a long time, tell a parent, teacher or doctor.
