In this edition of SchoolTV –\u00a0<\/b>MANAGING OVERWHELM<\/b><\/h4>\n

The hyperconnected nature of our current environment means that we are constantly being reminded of the challenges we face via numerous media and social media channels. Our connectivity to the digital world exposes us to a barrage of messages that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. As a result, many children and their parents are reporting higher levels of stress and anxiety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our brains have not evolved fast enough to adapt to this digital landscape. The combination of constant access to information and having little control over the situations presented can be stressful and overwhelming. It is therefore important for adult carers to check in with their children and be aware of what information they may have been exposed to. It may not necessarily be the information itself that is harmful, but more their inability to process and make sense of it. Providing adolescents with the skills and strategies to cope will enable them to flourish and thrive, socially, emotionally and academically.<\/span><\/p>\n

The blueprint for parenting, based on our own experiences, is no longer fit for purpose in raising kids as citizens of tomorrow. This can be inherently stressful and overwhelming, not only for parents and carers but children alike. If left untreated or unmanaged, constant stress and anxiety can lead to a number of behavioural issues or health consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this edition of SchoolTV, you will be exposed to a number of strategies to help manage any feelings of overwhelm that you or your child may be experiencing.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you take the time to reflect on the information offered in this edition of SchoolTV. If you do have any concerns about the wellbeing of your daughter, please contact her Tutor, House Coordinator or seek medical or professional help.<\/span>Here is the link to your special report: <\/b>MANAGING OVERWHELM| Marist Sisters\u2019 College – Woolwich<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n
