Childhood seems to be the most enjoyable period where the children are free from any stress. After all, kids do not have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what could they possibly have to worry about? That is what we usually think. Is it true? The answer is no. They have plenty of it, what we called stress.
Every young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability to meet them. Stress can affect anyone, even kids (who feels overwhelmed). In preschoolers, separation from parents is the greatest cause of anxiety. It may be the first stress that they experienced.
As they get older, academic and social pressures create stress. Teachers with high expectations might be the source of the stress among children. Teachers who push their pupils to excel in sports or who enroll them in too many activities can cause stress and frustration if their pupils don't share their goals. So, before we (as a teacher-to-be) set our objectives and goals, we should also consider the child ability.
Prepare ourselves to be a good and effective teacher one day!
