Your Stress becomes theirs
A course for parents
In this program, we will be sharing insights into stress and its effects. There are many situations we are all encountering these days that are adding stress to our lives. This stress impacts not only ourselves and our daily activities, it also impacts those around us; our families, our coworkers, and especially our kids.
Often we are unaware of how much our own personal stress can unintentionally spill over and create stress and chaos for our loved ones.
- Do you know the difference between healthy stress and unhealthy stress?
- Do you have multiple strategies to manage your stress?
- Is your stress self-induced?
- Did you know that it is stress that actually makes us grow and improve?
Definition of Stress: A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or demanding circumstances.
OUR GOAL
Our GOAL in this course is to provide education about the different types of stress and help you to proactively develop tools and habits to help you feel in control and better able to manage all that life throws at you.
To learn how to actively manage your own well-being so that you as a parent can support those you love the most, your spouse and children.
In this course we will focus primarily on how your stress becomes your child’s stress. They learn by watching and listening to you. If you cannot manage your stress, they will see this and begin to develop the same tendencies you are role modelling.
- Learn the difference between healthy and unhealthy stress
- Learn that it is your stress to manage and is not caused by others
- Learn how your reactions or loss of emotional control puts kids on edge and affects their brain development
- Learn the most effective ways to communicate with youth athletes after a poor performance. The ‘ride-home’ conversation can bring you closer together or tear you apart, even if they don’t let on.
When you understand stress, you can see how both you and your athlete can start to use it as a tool to grow and succeed, become more relaxed and fulfilled, and build stronger relationships.
These are difficult times we are all experiencing. Together with some education, open communication and an open-mind, we can prevent negative outcomes. Aren’t you and your family worth it?
