Some psychologists believe that kids have never
been as stressed as they are today. And, really,
between overscheduled lives, peer pressure,
cyberbullying, increased exposure to violence,
academic expectations and a high incidence of
divorced parents—why wouldn’t they be stressed?
On one hand, stress is a normal part of growing up. But, according to the American Academy
of Pediatrics, it’s time to step in if your child has
frequent headaches and stomach pains, seems restless and agitated, appears depressed or exhibits
changed behaviors, such as waning interest in oncepleasurable activities, falling grades or unusual
social behavior like lying or cheating.
Need help getting inside your child’s head? Visit
bam.gov, then click “Your Life” and have your child
take the Stress-o-meter quiz. Designed for kids 9
to 13 years old, the quiz helps your kids—and you,
if they’ll share their answers with you—identify
whether their stress revolves around school or home.
The quiz could open a floodgate of honest discussion. And, if any findings trouble you, a trip to your
pediatrician’s office will help uncover strategies
for better emotional and physical health.

app that works as a hearing aid, you’ll stay informed
about groundbreaking medical technologies.
