D. StressLess Booklet: 12-14 E-Book

Description

The StressLess Booklet for ages 12-14 is a practical resource to help parents, caregivers, and any caring adult support preteens with stress as they tackle the ups and downs of early adolescence. Preteens are navigating a time of new pressures, rapid change, and growing independence, but still rely on trusted adults for guidance. Designed to pick up and use, this booklet provides caring adults with support to help pre-teens manage stress with evidence-based tools and interactive activities. 

Finding the right balance between offering support and giving space can be challenging, StressLess works to ensure adults feel confident supporting the preteens in their care. By diving into the architecture of the brain, and trying out mindfulness based exercises like 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding, which guides preteens to center themselves by engaging their senses, this booklet creates an understanding of how stress affects the mind and body, and how to practice healthy coping strategies that can be applied to everyday situations. With the inside conversation starters, tips for building trust, and healthy stress management, adults can foster stronger connections while empowering preteens to build lifelong resilience.
