When my students are overwhelmed and stress out, I suggest that they take a little time to just breath and stop for a moment to clear their mind. I have some overachievers and they want to do their work right away but got frustrated when their work is not coming out the way it should be. Haste make waste, as they say. But giving them my support and understanding, letting them vent out, and acknowledging their work always make them realize that they are good students.
