Palo Alto study links teen stress to relaxation program
A Palo Alto High School PE department offered an optional course teaching relaxation techniques. Teens practiced controlled breathing, positive mental rehearsals, and autogenics to calm moods and improve self control. Becker’s analyses describe how economic and social shifts have reshaped the family in recent decades, predicting only a deep economic downturn could restore what leaders deem the ideal family structure.
