We have a daughter here at C4KK who is totally stressing herself out about the Class 8 exam. She is very bright (getting around 450 marks out of 500) but the teachers are pressuring her to “do better”. Not for her sake but for their own and the schools…bragging rights so to speak.
She has been having headaches, tension in the shoulders and what I believe are anxiety/panic attacks. We have been attempting to encourage her that she’s doing fine and not to put that much pressure on herself, but she’s the one who has to put that into action. Chuck’s been showing Fridah how to help the girl relieve the tension in the shoulders and I’ve been teaching a few stretching exercises geared towards the shoulder/neck area (to all the kids because they could all use it). She is finding relief but we also felt she should be adjusted by a chiropractor.
Here’s where it gets a bit funky….I called the one out two chiropractors in the COUNTRY. He personally answered the phone and said he would accept walk-in’s this Saturday, so we are headed to Nairobi this Saturday. Chuck was adjusted by this same doctor and had wonderful results so we are confident in his abilities.
Please pray for all our Class 8’s and Form 4’s as they continue to prepare for their final exams. Pray their teachers will help not hinder their ability to perform well for the exam and be encouraging to all students.
