  1. Well-being is a crucial prerequisite for achievement.
  2. Achievement is essential for well-being; failure leads to ill-being.
  3. Well-being has its own value: it complements academic achievement

or strong smells can be a stressor. For some children, too much junk food or sugar
can be a stressor. For far too many children today, not enough sleep or exercise or
just playing with other children is a huge stressor. Many children struggle with strong
negative emotions, like fear, anger, shame, or sadness. Some children find certain kinds
of cognitive challenge very draining. A great many children find group activities stressful.
And finally, children can find it very challenging to have to deal with other children’s
feelings or needs.]]> 2019-04-10 13:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350347096 https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350347561

being involved in the arts, yoga, and martial arts like Tae Kwan Do, all provide enormous
benefits for self-regulation (Diamond, 2011). ]]> 2019-04-10 13:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350348008 https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350348103 The ability to self-regulate refers to how smoothly a child is able to move up and down through different arousal states, which are critical for expending and restoring energy. During the "Social Engagement" stage (before a baby can even speak), parents/guardians play a critical role in reading and responding to the baby's cues in order to help them "up-regulate" or "down-regulate" (e.g., calming a baby down when she is agitated).

• What can I change in my environment to reduce children’s stress levels?
• How can I support children in recognizing when they are under- and over-stimulated?
• How can I help children recognize what sorts of activities help them to become calmly
focused and alert and what activities they need to limit?]]> 2019-04-10 13:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350348209 https://padlet.com/iniyal_inparajah/ox1lpyixwtxw/wish/350349458 The five primary sources of stress in children’s lives today are:
