What CoCreators Need to Know: Tips for Adults
A bit about the science behind this activity: Most kids and adults know the bad side of stress — overwhelm, frustration, feeling stuck. But there’s also a good side, called eustress. Eustress is the ‘just right’ stress that helps us grow, learn, and build confidence. By learning to notice when we’re in our eustress zone and when we tip into ‘too much’ we gain a powerful tool for emotional well-being.
By unleashing their inner eustress superhero, children will develop a powerful mindset—a belief in their own abilities to manage and overcome stress.
