Many of you can be thinking that children’s world is easy and that they are only worried about playing; however, it is not so. Every day is a new challenge they have to face, and this can cause stress to them.
When children start kindergarten, they face new challenges such as leaving their parents for a while, trying to fit in with their partners, new tasks, learning to read and write, etc.
An excellent way to lower children’s stress is by doing handcrafts. Handcrafts help to develop patience, stimulate fine motor skills, and enhance cognitive processes. It is also a way to strengthen bonds.
