I’ve tried hard to be a good mother and I’d like to share a tip on how to reduce anxiety for children and students by using an anxiety iceberg. The tip of the iceberg represents the emotions, feelings, responses, reactions, and behaviors they express (what we can see). The submerged iceberg represents the stressors, triggers, causes and underlying issues that become overwhelming and cause any reactions. Have them draw images on the iceberg or get them to write simple words to describe what they are going through or feeling. This may help you identify their worries like arriving at school, feeling lonely throughout the day, or being uncomfortable during certain subjects. This information helps you and their teachers understand them better.
Let's grab those guffaw earphones and listen to the joke of the day. It’s entitled “Mother’s Side.”
A child asked her father:
“Dad, can you tell me how people were born?”
“Yes, dear. It all started when Adam and Eve made babies. Then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.”
The child then went to her mother and asked:
“Mom, can you tell me how people were born?”
“Yes, dear. First, we were monkey-people, then we evolved to become like we are now.”
The child ran back to her father and said:
“You were wrong, Dad. Mom told me a totally different story saying we come from monkey-people.”
“Yes, dear. Your mom was talking about her side of the family.”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Sandra in the United States
