A Stress Management Classroom Tool for Teachers of Children with BD

Abstract

School-age children, including those with behavioral disorders, are experiencing more stress than ever in the history of public education. Nevertheless, the literature has not addressed the seriousness of stress and how it affects the lives of these children. This article discusses how stress may affect the lives of children with behavior disorders, provides educators with a model for introducing stress management techniques, and closes with strategies for managing stress in the classroom.
