Toxic Stress: What is it and Why is it Important in Family Life?

Peace at Home January 29, 2017 | Ruth Freeman

  • Do you sometimes go to bed at night promising yourself that you won’t yell at the kids tomorrow?
  • Do you find yourself promising to be more positive but end up focusing on problems and worries instead?

More and more parents report that they yell and threaten more than they’d like and have trouble with patience. You may wonder why you continue behaviors you know are not helpful to your children. This training will help you understand the nature of toxic stress, how it may have affected you in your childhood. You will learn simple tools to reduce your internal stress and how you can avoid passing it along to your kids.
