Part of our jobs as parents is to protect our children from the harmful effects of stress. From birth, toddlers are pushed to succeed.. first steps, potty training, object matching and puzzle solving. As children grow older, they are bombarded by pressures to perform in school, music and athletics which most often turns into some degree of stress.
Common signs of stress in children include irritability, acting out, attention deficits, nail biting, headaches, tummy aches, bedwetting and nightmares. Children can be taught a variety of healthy ways to deal with and overcome their stress. These include kids’ play time, daily exercise, laughter and imagination.
Ocean Escapes At Home believes that there are two more equally important avenues useful in teaching children natural stress relief. These include relaxation techniques and “Kids’ Time Outs”. Research shows that kids need their own forms of relaxation in an adult world especially when many are growing up in single parent or multigenerational families.
Our featured relaxation products for kids combine the calming and relaxing comforts of the ocean and seashore to create an escape from daily stress. The soothing effects of a warm scented bath and sights of enchanting dolphins provide a sense of gentleness. Our kids “relaxation literature” provides sources of helpful information for kids on How to be the Boss of their Stress and Sleep and the well known 10 relaxation tips for kids.
What better gift can a parent give their child than stress relief tools that last a lifetime?
