Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.1 – Recognizing Stress in Children Early: Recognizing stress in children begins with noticing subtle changes before they become bigger challenges. A child might start withdrawing, showing irritability, or losing interest in activities they once enjoyed. Their appetite, sleep, or school performance might shift unexpectedly. Early recognition depends on paying attention to both behaviors and emotions that seem “off.” Caregivers who respond early help prevent deeper anxiety or depression from forming. Parents can learn to watch for physical cues like stomachaches or headaches that have no medical cause. When stress is caught early, conversations can happen before fear builds walls. Children often lack words for how they feel, so adults must read tone, silence, and routines carefully. Early recognition doesn’t mean overreacting; it means seeing patterns and responding calmly. The earlier we identify stress, the easier it becomes to teach coping skills that last for life.
