Why School Stress Is Devastating for Our Children

Chronic stress at school can make kids (particularly those with ADHD or LD) dread going — and change their brains for the worse. But parents and teachers can help alleviate the stress that is stopping these bright kids from succeeding.

Thank you for this. I am in my 40s, was diagnosed in my 20s with ADHD. I actually was a good student in school although often felt like I had to work harder than others. And in many ways I also was safe because I did well in most subjects. However over the last several years I have enrolled in courses to expand my skills and my business and repeatedly found myself in these patterns. I also have been under extreme amounts of stress. This is truly illuminating and easily applies to adults in the workplace as well as kids in school. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this in-depth article that gives us concrete things to do or talk to teachers/doctors about!
