When people seek to reduce their stress, generally they are doing so in order to repair, or prevent, the impact of stress on themselves.
\n
\nAnd, of course, there is nothing at all wrong with this!
\n
\nBut what most people tend not to realize is how much their stress impacts those other people in their lives.
\n
\nThis is true for friends, spouses, and colleagues.
\n
\nBut it is especially true for parents!
\n
\nWhen you experience chronic stress, as do 77% of Americans, you\u2019re behavior is different.
\n
\nThe tone of your voice, your body language, and your expressions are influenced by the stress in your body.
\n
\nAnd the people around you are going to pick up on it.

\n
\nBut for your kids, the effects are almost certainly profound.
