 * 10:45 AM • General Session 6 – The Wonders and Woes of Stress

//Stress can be positively motivating and is a normal response to challenge and conflict in a person's life. This side of stress is often overlooked and we'll spend time talking about how it can lead to a productive and motivated student. On the other hand, the negative side of stress is seen all too clearly at home and at school. When it reaches a certain level and/or becomes a pervasive state, it not only degrades physiological health, it actually interferes with higher levels of thinking. It becomes important for a parent or teacher to be able to read signs of stress, develop techniques and strategies for lowering stress and for helping children deal with stresses in the classroom.//
