Stress is a major problem for many children in today's society. The consequences of unmanaged stress are linked to physical, emotional, and behavioral difficulties that affect all aspects of a child's development. School-age children are able to name the stressors in their lives as well as to report on the symptoms of stress that they experience. Children often perceive the school environment as a stressor, yet few schools teach stress management skills to students.

520 $a Stress is a major problem for many children in today's society. The consequences of unmanaged stress are linked to physical, emotional, and behavioral difficulties that affect all aspects of a child's development. School-age children are able to name the stressors in their lives as well as to report on the symptoms of stress that they experience. Children often perceive the school environment as a stressor, yet few schools teach stress management skills to students.
520 $a This study examined the effects of a movement program called Brain Gym RTM1 on the self-reported symptoms of stress in school-age children. The study used a pre-test/post-test, control group, quasi-experimental design, with a convenience sample of two 6th grade classrooms. Students in both classrooms were pre and post-tested utilizing the School Situation Survey (SSS), a 34-item self-report measure of school stressors and manifestations of stress. Teachers in both classrooms completed a brief questionnaire developed by the researcher: the Teacher Report of Observed Behavior designed to address teacher's impressions of changes in student's behavior over the course of the study. In addition, students in the treatment classroom completed the Brain Gym Student Report, a brief questionnaire designed by the researcher to examine students' perceptions of their enjoyment and the perceived usefulness of the Brain Gym movements for stress reduction.
520 $a Students in both classrooms took the California standardized achievement tests, known as the STAR (State Testing and Recording), examinations. Students in the treatment classroom performed the Brain Gym movements twice daily during the two weeks in which the examinations were given. The control classroom prepared for and took the examinations using standard classroom procedures, without any stress reduction measures.
520 $a Results failed to support the use of Brain Gym movements to reduce self-reported symptoms of stress, as identified by the SSS. Limitations of the SSS as well as recommendations for further study were presented.
