Your Brain on Stress

Running around from one activity to another?  Filling every moment of your day with something that seems like a great opportunity for your children?  Not making any time for just sitting and being quiet and in the moment?  All of this (not to mention what life naturally brings) causes stress.  You may not realize  that stress eats away at your brain.  There is good stress, the kind that  releases cortisol.  That aids you when you or your child is in danger.  For example if you see your child running  towards an on coming truck in the road ...cortisol kicks in and gets you there like a super hero.  So how  do we parent effectively when we live with so much bad stress?  Well, the truth is we don't.  What we need to do is SLOW down.  There is a place for sports and activities but not if it's causing you and your family bad stess.  We as parents need all the brain cells we can get.  If you want to be less stressed and have  more peace in your home, contact me ...
