Adults do not have a monopoly on stress. Kids may not have bills to pay, a job to get to, or a broken down car to fix, but they still feel worry and overwhelm from events, challenges, and even from within. 

Stress can come from outside sources like a demanding parent or teacher, or being too busy to relax and enjoy some playtime. Any changes that happen to a child’s life can be very stressful as well, such as an illness in the family, divorce, or moving to a new school. Stress can also come from expectations kids place on themselves like getting straight A’s or being popular. Kids may also take on their parents’ stress or troubling stories they hear and see on TV and radio. 

​What we put into our bodies fuels everything we do, and it’s more than just the food we eat. Koady, Jake and TC all have dreams of making it big in music, and their band (The Shorebirds) has real potential. But before they can work in concert on their dreams, they have to work individually on how they feed those dreams – from the food they eat to how they deal with distractions and disappointment.

Join the band as they get ready to hit the stage for their big premier, and as they learn how to fine tune their instruments and themselves.
