Cooling down your hot head: Exploring ways to stress less as a parent

When you have a baby or small children, many of life's stressors seem to collide. Often there will be financial stress, as one parent takes time off work. There can be relationship stress as you work out your place in the new family structure. And then, of course, there's baby-won't-stop-crying stress. Matthew Johnstone and Dr Michael Player have produced a book called Stress Less, Proven methods to reduce stress, manage anxiety and lift your mood. They give some quick tips to help parents cool down when things are heating up. You can get a copy of their book at all good bookstores or online at Angus & Robertson and search "Stress Less".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
