Things that Upset or Stress Your Children

Continuing on with Kids Have Stress Too!

Here’s another Toolbox Activity from Kids Have Stress Too!

Things that Upset or Stress Your Children



1. What bothers or upsets your children?
2. What do your children say that causes stress or bothers or upsets them?

Strategy
Find a time when you can spend 10 to 20 minutes with each child. Ask your child about times when he or she feels worried or upset or stressed.

Questions to children:
• What do you worry about?
• What upsets you?
• What do you do when you are feeling upset?

Or
Use a sheet of paper and ask your children to write down or get you to write down things that bother them. They may wish to draw them, and then discuss them.
