Parents

Almost everyone is affected by the increased levels of stress on the planet. They even have a name for it—global stress. Some call it the stress mess. Whatever we call it, how we respond to daily stressors plays a key role in our relationships, work and health. When external events cause us to react in unhealthy ways, those we care about are directly impacted.

Our children are not immune to the increased stress levels. They have names for their stress as well—Test Anxiety or Test Stress, Math Anxiety and Peer Pressure. There is enormous pressure to do well in school and fit in, not to mention numerous relationship issues with family, friends and teachers. Children and teens tend to respond differently to the pressures than most adults. For example, a recent study conducted with almost 3000 undergraduate students at Princeton and Cornell Universities found that 17% of the students say they have purposely injured themselves by cutting, burning or other methods. Many of these self-injurers have no diagnosable illness but have not learned effective ways to cope with life stresses.

There are effective solutions. One is the emWave Personal Stress Reliever®. It uses the same technology as the Freeze-Framer, used by 10’s of thousands individuals and health care professionals, to help transform the affects of daily and prolonged stress.

The emWave Personal Stress Reliever is an innovative approach that can help give sustained stress relief and emotional balance to people ages 8 and above. The emWave Personal Stress Reliever is based on learning to change one’s heart rhythm pattern and create physiological coherence in the body. You can use this technology with yourself and your whole family. It helps students gain internal awareness and self-regulation while improving their behavior, learning and test scores.

As people use the emWave and HeartMath tools, they learn to recognize and discriminate external versus internal control. Rather than blaming others for their situations they come to understand that focusing on their internal state allows greater control and increased response options. They improve their relationships, performance, and overall well-being by becoming aware of when the stress response starts and by stopping it in the moment.

The comments that follow are from a double blind placebo controlled research study on children with AD/HD. There are comments from the child, her mother, and teacher.

Jess
“HeartMath is good, it makes me happy.”

Mother
“Jessica’s aggression towards her brother has calmed down a lot and she tends to remove herself from confrontation, rather than attacking him. Her sleep pattern has changed; she seems to fall asleep earlier.”

English Teacher
“Jess is doing much better in lessons since doing HeartMath, her attention and concentration both seem better. She is less likely to chatter through the whole lesson, and is more responsive when asked questions.”

As parents, we can help our children by learning to transform our own stress and giving them the tools they need to effectively deal with theirs. emWave is handheld, easy to use, portable and cool enough for kids. Included with the emWave is the Coherence Coach™, an entertaining tutorial, that teaches the Quick Coherence® technique and helps people of all ages learn to achieve a state of physiological coherence and emotional balance.
