Help for Dealing with School Stress for Teens in Omaha, NE
Your teen feels stressed at the thought of going to school, and you feel stressed about how to help them. When our performance is being evaluated, such as at school, it’s natural to feel a little nervous or heightened awareness.
Research suggests that when individuals view a situation as “challenging,” it can enhance their skills and increase their capacity for learning. This indicates that academic challenges have the potential to boost our productivity and create opportunities for positive emotional experiences. However, performance anxiety can reach a tipping point; if a child perceives school and assignments as “threatening,” they may feel helpless and overwhelmed. Therefore, while a manageable level of challenge can enhance productivity, excessive stress from academic demands can be detrimental. For individuals with performance anxiety, school is often one of the most significant facets of their lives, which can exacerbate their stress.
And since school includes a social element, school stress can be exacerbated by friction with classmates and teachers. Dealing with unpleasant situations such as cliques or bullies can add another layer of performance anxiety.
If you want to help your teen feel less stressed about school, please reach out. Email us at Scheduling@bekindomaha.com or call 402-277-9499, for your free 20 minute phone consultation.
Some individuals might not immediately recognize that they are stressed by school; however, they can still manifest signs of stress, such as struggle with getting out of bed in the morning, overwhelming fatigue, or a diminished interest in school activities.
At Be Kind Counseling, we prioritize fostering a fully non-judgmental atmosphere where your teen can collaborate with a skilled therapist to explore the sources of their school-related agitation, including performance anxiety and pressure to excel, academic hurdles, or navigating social dynamics and challenging interpersonal relationships.
From there, your therapist will help your teenager develop pointed strategies for dealing with the source of stress, as well as healthier coping mechanisms for managing symptoms of stress. Excessive school stress can make your child feel like hiding away; however, with the help of a therapist who they truly feel is on their team and has their best interests at heart, your teenager can find joy in their daily routine again.
