How to help a child cope with stress: what a parent can do – trying to build a trusting relationship
Some parents have noticed that after the question “How are you?” the child responds with the standard “Fine.”

It is difficult to understand what is happening in a child's life and how to cope with his stress.

How to help your child cope with stress
You will have to try to find the reason why the child is experiencing stress – bullying at school and other problems.
Unfortunately, many children are subject to false social messages, such as the idea that they shouldn't complain.

Psychologists recommend starting with switching to light physical activity, maintaining a proper sleep schedule, and even allowing him to do nothing at all. Let him spend time on his favorite hobby.
