dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a ten week relaxation/stress control program for elementary school children. Two hundred and eighty children from kindergarten to grade six were involved in the study. Various stress control techniques were taught as well as ways to apply the techniques in the children's daily lives. Significant effects were found in the experimental group with respect to the children's capacity to lower their heart rates, across the school overall. Children in the experimental group also successfully utilized the relaxation/stress control skills in a variety of settings to help reduce stress in their daily lives. The results of this study were encouraging, especially with respect to children's capacities to learn and apply relaxation/stress control skills in their daily lives both inside and outside of school.
