As educators, its important we keep an eye out for red flags indicating childhood stress and for those who may be struggling to manage it. Try this as a class wide activity before a test or when you feel like the class could benefit from a grounding exercise. While we all have stress, we must learn to manage it when young.

When a physical education teacher can’t be in class, whether due to illness, professional development, or personal matters, the show must go on.
