Stress and your children

Just think about it. Are you using your children as your stress container?

What stress?

The workplace is definitely a place where you tend to accumulate stress in your body and mind. As you return home, you are again stressed with traffic. When you get home you find the house messy and the children’s homework pending, what do you do? You try to stay calm, but you tend to transfer stress energy to your child when you communicate, either verbally or through actions.

How is it transferred to my children when I communicate with them?

You have a lot of things stored inside of you, the things that you collected during the day, and a lot of it is stressful. You won’t want to touch them when you get home. But, any single incident, dialogue can trigger the release or, let’s say, the bursting of this stored stress energy. It may be that your children have not eaten well, they have not done their homework, you cannot decide what to feed them tomorrow or the uniform is not ironed… the list is endless. Even if you speak calmly and act calmly, the energy is transferred. The child may not react, but is affected.

If there is no trigger, does it still affect?

Think of a scenario. You are sitting in your chair thinking about a problem at work. Her son comes and shows her his drawing. He is very excited to have been appreciated in the class by the teacher. How would you react in this situation?

On the other hand, think that instead of thinking about the labor issue, you were thinking about options for the next vacation destination. Would your answer be different? If yes, then it is affecting your child even if there is no trigger.

To do?

The only way is to find a mechanism to de-stress before you face your kids at the end of the day.

How to get rid of stress?

There are a number of ways to get rid of your stress. Depending on your schedule and the facilities available around you, you can choose one or more ways. You can take a light walk, exercise, play a sport, meditate, or something similar. These are the ways you can get rid of your stress energy independently.

Can an outside agency help me get rid of my stress?

Yes, you can use energy medicine. Call your energy medicine practitioner friend and tell him to de-stress the body. Before you get home, you’re like new. Depending on the method the energy medicine practitioner uses, they may need to spend some time on the process.

Make sure you are clear of stress energy so that your children are not affected and get a better supportive and motivating environment to grow and develop.
