Easing Stress Headaches



Most headaches are caused by muscular tension in the scalp and surrounding muscles of the jaw, neck, shoulders, and back. For most people, tension headaches are a physical and emotional reaction to stressors such as personal or work problem, working in one position for an extended period, and being exposed to excessive noise. Headaches also are a common symptom of viral infections such as a cold and the flu or bacterial infections such as sinusitis and can be triggered by outside agents such as perfumes, mold, and noise. Except for headaches caused by infections, headache pain is best treated by reducing the pressures in your life and by avoiding headache triggers. Periodic tension headaches rarely are indication of other health problems such as brain tumor or hypertension. Brain tumors are usually accompanied by other symptoms such as paralysis and personality changes. Listed are some precautionary measures for the relief of headaches:

Self-discipline



One of the many things that can influence childs grades in the school is self-discipline. Self-discipline is the ability or power to control and trains one’s actions, impulses, or emotions. When it comes to studying, this trait can determine whether or not your child will stop playing and start doing his homework. If your child is self-disciplined, he can tell himself to study even if he does feel like it or review for a test even if he would rather watch the television. A self-disciplined child is able to do his homework even if it sometimes difficult. As we all know, studying is not always a pleasant task. The commitment and responsibility school requires of a child is probably similar to what a company needs of an adult employee. You can then imagine how demanding school can sometimes be.

As parents, we can have a strong influence in helping our children develop self-discipline. One way is by encouraging them to grow up with what we called “HFT”or high frustration tolerance. Do you allow your child to experience natural disappointments or some degree of discomfort? Or do you always cushion him from pain and make life easy as possible? HFT promotes a child’s ability to tolerate difficulties later on and so helps him become more persevering. The opposite of a child who is self-disciplined is one who is pampered. Such a child usually has poor frustration tolerance. He is used to doing things the easy way. He lacks perseverance and may easily give up. Even if he is described as intelligent, he may find it hard to stay focused on school work gwhen he begins seeing it as tedious, boring or difficult. Natural disappointments occur in situations beyond our control. If your child wants something he unexpectedly cannot have or an activity is planned but it suddenly does not push through. To develop HFT , it is good to allow such natural disappointments to happen. What you have to do is to tell him you understand how bad he feels about it, but that he has to accept the situation.

Aside from natural disappointments, you can create a tolerable degree of difficulty or discomfort at home. Some parents say they don’t want their children to go through the hardships they experienced when they were young. But now we realize that a certain amount of frustration can strengthen our children.

SELF ESTEEM



Self-esteem has become the single most important consideration in child-rearing and education. But the self esteem movement is suffering a backlash as it comes under critical scrutiny from experts. It seems the notion that a kid full of self esteem will be popular and high achieving in school and in life is not well supported by clinical practice. Nor, for that matter, does it ring true many experienced teachers and parents. Previous generations of parents were more interested in teaching their kids character, which included components of hard work, morality, honesty, charity, and spiritually. The cultivation of self-esteem in a child who didn’t posses such traits would have seemed a seriously misguided effort.

The most reliable path to self-esteem is for a kid to attempt a goal they believe is too hard, to work toward it, and, finally, either to accomplish it or to feel that a good try was made. Moreover, kids aren’t fooled by indiscriminate praise. Unaware of child’s goals, we may praise the wrong thing. It is not nearly as useful to a child as the truth. Failure provides the needed contrast that makes success all the sweeter when it happens. It is not necessarily a bad thing. When we muffle our children in a haze of supportive words and blunt their experiences of consequences, we could be making it harder for them to deal with the real world.

SLEEPING HABITS

Oftentimes, the child real problem is sleep deprivation. They have two personalities: one that’s well rested and one that’s not. Any parent knows that a too-tired toddler will be cranky, whiny, and more tantrum-prone. A school-age child may act grouchy, moody, and withdrawn to the point where he doesn’t want to play with friends or stops showing interest in his usual hobbies. Not getting enough sleep can also make a child distracted, easily frustrated, and, in some cases hyperactive. Fatigue makes some adults and children more active, more intense. In kids, this behavior sometimes gets treated with drugs when trying to help them stay rested would be better first step. You may find your child’s behavior changes if she sleeps better for several days. If not, then it’s time for a visit to your doctor who can recommend the next step. Studies have shown that a lack of sleep significantly impairs children’s progress in school. In terms of its emotional effect, fatigue ratchets up the frustration level quite quickly. If a sixth grader is doing her homework at 10 o’clock at night, she’s more susceptible to getting upset if something stumps her and less likely to hang in there and do a good job. Just as parents too have less patience to help with schoolwork as the night wears on. You have to get kids started on their homework earlier, and get them used to regular nighttime with a wind-down period of 1 or 2 quiet activities. But if you get stuck in one of those late-nights meltdown, suggest that your child go to bed, and offer to get her up early enough in the morning to finish. You can teach children something critical by pointing out the link between their behavior and sleep. Maybe you tell them, “I’m sending you to your room because you’re misbehaving, and I think a lot of it because you’re tired. Get some some rest, and you’ll feel better. When your kid doesn’t like to go to bed, then give the child no options when it comes to bedtime. No TV, no reading, no video games, no sitting on the couch with Mom and Dad until he feels tired. Make him stay in the bedroom with the lights out. But if the child needs comfort, stay in their room and sit beside the child’s bed until she falls asleep, then progressively move the chair farther across the room each until she is used to sleeping alone. On the other hand parents need to be rested to be effective and compassionate with their children.
