As the year winds down, it’s essential for kids to stay focused, but not at the cost of their well-being. With only two months left, academic pressure can be overwhelming, leading to stress, anxiety, and burnout. Recognising the signs of excessive stress and implementing effective coping strategies can help students navigate this challenging period.
Signs of Excessive Stress
- Behavioural Changes: Withdrawal from social interactions, loss of interest in activities, or increased procrastination.
- Physical Symptoms: Fatigue, headaches, or muscle tension.
- Emotional Signs: Irritability, mood swings, or feelings of hopelessness [4].
Coping Strategies
- Time Management: Use planners or apps to stay organised and focused.
- Mindfulness: Practice relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or meditation.
- Support Networks: Surround yourself with people who encourage and understand you [2][4].
Tips for Managing Academic Pressure
- Set Realistic Goals: Break down large tasks into manageable chunks, and prioritise what’s truly important.
- Practice Self-Care: Make time for activities that bring joy, like exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family.
- Seek Support: Talk to teachers, parents, or a counsellor about feelings of overwhelm.
- Stay Organised: Use tools like to-do lists and calendars to stay on top of assignments and deadlines.
- Take Breaks: Regularly take time off to relax and recharge.
