People often write of Stress like it's a bad thing. It just means a situation that forces a person to adapt and change. Sometimes that stress is good, sometimes bad. I think that Stress can be useful because it gives the student something to overcome and improve. Granted, stress like a broken vehicle, no childcare, or similar are not something that we can assist with and would be more negative in their lives. We just have to know that sometimes we can do something to help, sometimes we can't.
