Managing Stress and Distress

How to Help
An accessible, straightforward guide to how inbuilt stress responses lead to distress andproblematic behaviour in young people, how mindfulness can build self-regulation andresilience, and the practical ways in which parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.
Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by childrenand young people at home and in school, Managing Stress and Distress offers anaccessible introduction to how heightened stress levels in young people can lead todistressed behaviour - and how to manage both. We have left behind a time whenschools found it easier to exclude 'difficult' children than understand them, but theevolutionary and psychological factors that often underpin stress responses and theirresulting problematic behaviours remain poorly understood. Offering a complete,compassionate guide to what stress is, how it arises, the purpose it serves and theissues it can cause, Stan Godek argues for a trauma-informed approach of managingshort-term distress while also reducing long-term stress levels via a regular practiceof mindfulness - and shows how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.
