Here are my observations of the learners from different developmental levels:
Preschool Learners (3-5 years old)
- Their gross motor skills are still developing. They can run and walk but movement is clumsy.
- Fine motor skills are still emerging. Writing and drawing skills need improvement. Hands still have difficulty gripping objects.
- Attention span is short. They get distracted easily but are curious and energetic.
- Play and social interaction are their primary interests. They enjoy playing with toys, games, and other children.
Elementary Learners (6-12 years old)
- Gross motor skills are more coordinated. They can run, jump, climb efficiently.
- Fine motor skills
Stress is the body's normal physical response to events that make one feel threatened or upset balance. When stressed, one may feel worried, tense, tired, frightened or angry. Stress can be caused by external factors like one's environment, social interactions, major life events or work. Left unmanaged, stress can lead to memory problems, inability to concentrate, constant worrying, eating issues, feeling overwhelmed, depression, sleep problems and more. The best ways to manage stress include identifying stress sources, not using unhealthy coping mechanisms, listening to music, yoga, spending time in nature, with pets and more. Stress cannot be removed, so one must learn to enjoy it through effective management.
