What are some of the strategies that teachers can use to help students cope with stressful events?

What will be an ideal response?


Teachers can reassure children (numerous times, if necessary) of their safety and security; allow children to retell events and be patient in listening to them; encourage children to talk about any disturbing or confusing feelings, reassuring them that such feelings are normal after a stressful event; protect children from re-exposure to frightening situations and reminders of the trauma-for example, by limiting discussion of the event in front of other children; and help children make sense of what happened, keeping in mind that children may misunderstand what took place.
