MANAGING YOUR STRESS
Predominant Coping Strategy
My predominant coping strategy resulted in problem-focused coping, meaning that I make
attempts to modify my stressful problems or sources of stress. Problem-focused strategies lead to
changes in behavior or to the development of a plan of action to deal with stress. I recently
experienced the stressful event of having to transfer my son to a different school in a different
county two months before the school year is set to end. As you can probably imagine, this was
not the easiest task to complete. From registration paperwork to just the general worries of my
son being in a different environment, making new friends and establishing a relationship with his
new teacher, I was completely overwhelmed. My son could see how stressful this was for me,
and that is exactly what I did not want. I did not want him to know how this change was
affecting me. Moving forward, I chose to look on the positive and bright side of things. I knew
that this decision was the best for my son, even though it may not have been the best timing. As
far as making new friends, my son is what I refer to as a “social butterfly” so I didn’t foresee an
issue with that. I knew that in the long run, my son was going to benefit from the change in
environment.
What is Stress?
Stress is people’s response to events that threaten or challenge them. Stress can also be how we

vacation, or making plans for an upcoming graduation party can produce stress, although the
result of negative events can have much more detrimental and serious consequences compared to
