Re: Instill stress in the minds of children... [Re: deranger]
    #8997880 -

stress is not inherently bad, nor is it good, it just is. this might prove more productive if you care to make the clarification between distress, and eustress. I think we need to encourage  more eustress, that inner drive to accomplish some goal. It can be stressful to train for an event, write a novel, create a mural, or dedicate ones life to some noble cause, however, these are stresses well worth undertaking in most cases.


that said there are (as far as i can think of) three basic coping strategies to dealing with stresses encountered in ones life.


Resistance- remain rigid, do not falter etc.

Dispersion- passing stress along, sharing a stress load so that it is lessened on each individual.

Deflection- bend but do not break. flexibility.

each has is use and each has its faults. you must choice the best method or combination to bear the stress or you run the risk of breaking or failing.

this is obviously true being that good and bad are mere mental labels.  but stress is often associated with feelings of discomfort, uneasiness, annoyance, anger, bad temper, irritability, etc.  and these feelings could be considered inherently associated with stress.

As the product of an extreamly stressful child hood I can tell you for a fact it makes it hard to learn and grow mentally and emotionally. You spend all your energy trying to survive and not be completely shut down.

I think the solution is to try and learn to cope with stressful situations without actually becoming stressed.

Stressful situations are inescapable.


they are avoidable, like shitty work places.  my bro has gone wayy downhill since starting his job.  he hardly has any energy anymore (creative energy?), seems so lifeless.


I think we can agree on the negative impact stress can have on our lives, mentally and physically.

Certain situations may be avoided, but stressful situations can manifest anywhere in ones life. Relationship difficulties, sudden illness of yourself or a loved one, unexpected change in financial situation...there are so many things in life that one could be stressed about.

IMO even attempting to avoid stress, can lead to stress (I have tried the stress avoidance technique, with less than satisfying results.)

I am not saying one should purposely place themselves in stressful situations but, The knack is to meet each situation in a calm and level headed manner, so that you may work through whatever life has to throw in your path.

And with conscious practice, it will become easier.

If stress was completely removed from a child's life, they would not get this practice in dealing with it.
