Jesus, it's almost frightening to hear a little ten-year-old girl crying just how much she is stressed out. Deliver our children from their emotional and mental stresses and give them the strength and stamina to grow from each difficult.
The Child's Prayer:
I refuse to be stressed and I embrace my blessing today. Amen.
Notes to Parents:
Don't underestimate the fact that your child could be a carrier of stress.
In times of adversity and turmoil, stress evokes strong emotions and causes uncertainty in all of us. As parents, we are in the best position to help our children.

Here are five things we can do:
- Supervise their tv time or use of the media and devices
- Plan times away from devices where they can be creative and be engaged in outdoor activities
- Listen whenever they want to speak. Some children will want to talk about difficult situations and some won’t. Both reactions are common and natural.
- Be calm. The children often will feed on the parents stresses.
- Encourage hope. Although difficult situations can have negative consequences, they can also have positive outcomes. It is important to keep an optimistic attitude and look forward to the future. People who maintain hope and engage themselves in positive thinking develop resiliency and enhance their chance of coping with the adversity while maintaining their wellbeing.
