Experts Warn of Rising Child Burnout
Experts are saying that many children and teenagers are feeling very stressed and tired, not just physically but also mentally.
This is because they have a lot of schoolwork, social pressures, and big expectations from adults.
Almost one in five kids feels stressed about their school performance, and almost half sometimes feel like they're not good enough.
Experts say this is not a sign of weakness but a sign that kids need more support and understanding.
They suggest that schools and parents should create a safe environment where kids can express their feelings and learn to handle stress in healthy ways.
Simple things like taking breaks, talking about feelings, and having strong relationships with teachers can help kids feel better and more balanced.
Nearly 1 in 5 students feels stressed about academic performance.
Almost half of students sometimes believe they are not good enough.
10-20% of children and adolescents worldwide experience mental health conditions.
7.7% of adolescents globally have an anxiety disorder, which can lead to burnout.
Experts recommend creating a support system with teachers, counselors, and parents to help children manage stress and develop healthy coping strategies.
