Coping with Holiday Stress 12/6 7PM
Take Joy: Strategies for Reducing Stress and Finding Balance During the Holidays—and Beyond
The busy holiday season can be especially difficult for children and families who are living apart, separated or divorced. As the holidays approach, children have worries about parents' conflicts, finances, whether or not there will even be a holiday for them, and if they will have to miss out on cherished traditions. Adults too are often affected by the increased demands and heightened emotions surrounding the season. Dr. JoAnne Pedro-Carroll, an internationally recognized authority on children and families, will describe the worries and a mixture of emotions that children experience that can leave them feeling out of sorts, stressed and more difficult to manage.
Dr. Carroll’s talk will address ways that parents can help to reduce children’s stress – and their own – during the holidays and throughout the new year. Her approaches are based on the latest research and more than 25 years of working with thousands of children and families. Her take- home message: It is never too late to reclaim our lives and have joyful holidays and healthier relationships with those who matter most.
