Stress Management

Why Stress?

Because stress is built into family life:

1. The demands of career, children, and personal needs are often at odds.

2. Change - which all families experience - is a big source of stress.

Some Causes of Stress in the Family:

These Issues are common to many households:

1. Poor understanding/communication with children

2. Lack of support

3. The myth of the “perfect family”

4. Low self-esteem

5. Other sources of stress - buildup on everyday problems



“You can’t watch your children 24 hours a day. All you can do, from the very
beginning, is try to build a relationship with the child that will form a protective barrier
between him or her and [any] kind of menace. Maybe in some cases your best efforts
will fail, but at least you will know that you tried.”
