When people seek to reduce their stress, generally they are doing so in order to repair, or prevent, the impact of stress on themselves.
And, of course, there is nothing at all wrong with this!
But what most people tend not to realize is how much their stress impacts those other people in their lives.
This is true for friends, spouses, and colleagues.
But it is especially true for parents!
When you experience chronic stress, as do 77% of Americans, you’re behavior is different.
The tone of your voice, your body language, and your expressions are influenced by the stress in your body.
And the people around you are going to pick up on it.
For the adults in your life, the effects can be fairly mild.
But for your kids, the effects are almost certainly profound.
