The Impact of Fear of Transition or Change on Stress Levels
Fear of transition or change can lead to consistently high stress levels in individuals. This applies to students in school who may become highly stressed when they are uncertain about the order of activities, which adults will be teaching them, and other similar uncertainties. This fear and anxiety can keep them in a heightened stressed state, causing them to perceive other issues as threats and overreact. Therefore, having a way to understand the flow of the day, such as a visual timetable, can greatly help relieve students' anxiety, reduce stress chemicals, and bring them back to a calm and focused state.
