Coping With Stress:
Stress has become a relatively common part of life since every individual is likely to experience it at certain times regardless of whether they are adults, teens, or children. Generally, stress can be described as a situation characterized by signs of emotional or physical reaction, particularly when responding to a situation when an individual feels threatened or is worried. While there are several common reactions to a stressful situation, stress can either be positive or negative. The positive or beneficial aspect of stress occurs when an individual develops the skills for coping and adapting to new situations in life. On the contrary, stress is negative if it's severe to the extent that it overwhelms the ability of a person to care for themselves and family. Therefore, it's important for an individual to develop healthy ways for coping and obtaining right care that lessens stressful feelings and symptoms ("Coping with Stress," 2013).
Potential Stressful Situations:
Similar to many people, stress has become a normal part of my life, especially with regards to balancing work, school, and home.

With regards to work, one of the major areas that are likely to cause stressful feelings is exposure to physically and emotionally stressful experiences when providing special education for Autistic K/1 class i.e. children with disability.
The full time teaching assistant job means that I have to provide comprehensive special education programs to children with disability. This requires the provision of direct school support and facilitating communication throughout the elements of autism. One of the central focuses in special education for Autistic K/1 class, which can contribute to stressful situations, is outcomes-focused teaching. Consequently, the services provided to the students include helping in communication difficulties, impaired social skills, and behavioral responses. Together with providing care for elderly parents, teaching Autistic K/1 class has increased exposure to stressful situations because of the conditions of these children and parents as well as the demands. Actually, the provision of care to the parents and children is a very demanding work since it's outcomes-focused.
The potential area that can result in stressful feelings and symptoms are school work i.e. being a full-time college student completing a degree for teaching special education with a major in Autism. School work is also very demanding because teaching special education, especially Autism requires the development of special skills and knowledge. Work and school contribute to major challenges in maintaining the home setting, which can…

Stress is an unavoidable fact of life, yet, what precisely is stress? It is essentially one of those things that we all have but that we all have difficulty defining and explaining. The one unarguable fact is that we all have it in our lives and, without it, our lives would be much different. If fact, the only way that one's life can be entirely stress free is upon death.
Stress Management in the Caregiver Setting An increasing body of evidence points to the intensity of the labor involved in caring, and the impact it has on the caregiver in a healthcare setting. Whether lay or professional, it seems that the potential for suffering among caregivers is enormous. When a person reaches a state of physical, emotional or mental exhaustion, burnout occurs, and it appears to affect both lay and professional

It is important to note that the relationship between pain and anxiety is reciprocal. Painful experiences may lead to anxiety (e.g., "Something must be wrong... Increased anxiety will lead to accentuated perception of pain, which further increases the anxiety level. Obviously, potentially traumatic experiences may result unless there is some intervention in this pain-anxiety cycle. Narcotics may be helpful, but psychological interventions are quite appropriate in this regard. (King, 1991,
