do it early so you don't have to think about it later.

I have a lot of stress myself, so I hope I can help.\n\nFirst, talk to your parents about being so stressed, and ask them to make you an appointment with your doctor. He may be able to prescribe you some medication to help. \n\nAlso, try getting a book on stress reduction and relaxation techniques from the library. It will be able to help you put things in perspective, understand why you get so stressed, and how to calm down when you feel pressure. \n\nI've used both of the things above - I'm on Xanax for stress, and it's very helpful. The books have also been great.

oh yeah, been there and done that! The best thing you can do is to eliminate those distractions:\n\n1. Turn your computer OFF (unless your typing on it, then that work, in that case, don't turn the internet on)\n\n2. Music is fine but maybe you could switch to some calm and relaxing tunes (because if you play music you really like you will just end up bopping to that instead, I know I do so it's best lay of the music that makes you want to dance!). \n\nTry to make your approach to work more interesting, I don't know how you approach coursework but I know from my experience I found it easier to make a 'plan' of what I am going to include in my assignment (use colour pens to make it more vibrant and interesting to look at). Bullet point the things you want to include under different sub-headings, make a list of your sources you have used for your coursework, make a list of the sequence you in which you will raise the different points. \n\nDo this 'plan' on plain white paper with the different colour pens, it will keep you AWAY from your PC and it's a good starting point before you drive straight in and attempt to write your work from cold. \n\nWhen you have done this, you can then sit down and write your coursework up in its proper format, so you will then feel like you have been more constructive as you are pulling all the different elements of your plan together to conclude your work. This will then make it less monotonous.\n\nNow I hope this makes sense! I also have a limited concentration capacity and I really found the above approach helped!\n\nGood luck!

Try this: "set the stage."  That means that you can create a time and place and atmosphere where you are going to be working.   Turn off the tv or turn it down very low so you can hear voices and you will not feel so alone.  Get away from the tv set, so you can not see the screen; get a comfortable chair, table, and writing area; settle yourself in a comfortable position; then take a deep breathe -in through your nose, slowly out your mouth-let your shoulders relax and sag a little; now, that you are ready.  DON'T LET THE HOMEWORK SCARE YOU.  It's only paper, ink, and pencil.  Do your best.  Trust yourself and do this for yourself.  Now, that you have finished that piece of work, have a little break, or a soda; then tackle the next thing.  You could even make a list of what you need to do and mark off each one AFTER you do it.  Then you will see how much you have accomplished.  This worked for three school kids that I knew personally.  Good Luck and Blessings.

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress, especially if you have a stressful job. If you feel you need nutritional supplements, try taking vitamins formulated for stress. Otherwise, eat healthy balanced meals, lay off the late night snacks.

Establish priorities.\n\nHave a daily schedule as specific as you need it.  YOu might even need 5 minute chunks to start.\n\nHave a big master schedule for when assignments are due, appointments, tests, etc.\n\nDe-clutter your environment.   Often we are distracted and taken off task by "stuff" around us.  Try to keep things tidy. \n\nSet realistic short term goals for yourself.  Write them down.\n\nStop doing unnecessary stuff.  Sometimes we try to do too much.  But don't put off the hard stuff that really must be done - no time like the present - get it done now.\n\nPlan your day.\n\nAsk for help when it is reasonable, but don't expect too much of others.\n\nAs much as possible do your study in day light hours.  Research suggests taht one hour of study in day light is equal to about an hour and a half of study after dark.\n\nTake short breaks.  Generally marathon work sessions don't work for most people.  But make sure you end your break on time.  \n\nThis one might sound silly, but get enough rest.\n\nDo the most difficult things when you are most alert, not when you are tired.\n\nDo the most important stuff first.\n\nSchedule some exercise and relaxation time everyday.  It will energize you.\n\nI hope this helps.  Good luck!

Well, not being online while doing your homework is usually a good start.  I don't know what the "math source book method" is, but what I recommend is start earlier, and remove distractions (i.e. don't do your homework sitting in front of the TV or computer).\n\nOh yeah, and quite complaining - I was up doing homework till 5:30 in the morning on Thursday night, and past 4 every night for about four nights straight.

Sounds like a good idea, only you need something to do in between working and school that is fun so you can relax, that way you won't crash. Or you could just copy your homework so there's less work.

Believe me.  you just have to force yourself to do it.  It may not be fun(heck, hw is rarely fun) or easy to do the first few times but after a while just doing your homework becomes easier to manage.  It also helps later when you get more homework and end up working from 3pm until midnight.  \n\nWrite a schedule for yourself, allotting a certain amount of time for each subject and leaving space in between homework to take a break.

Go through the homework with the child and be patient while doing it.Don't get angry with the child.Also,try and make the work interesting(in whatever way possible) and repeat yourself until the child understands you. :)

The most effective treatment is thought-control, in which when you get upset, you turn your thoughts to those that tend to calm you down, instead of make you more upset.  After this, exercise, plenty of sleep, and a balanced diet with a vitamin supplement.  These are all known to significantly decrease stress.
