This demand includes the small daily challenges - from waking your kids in the morning, to driving them to school, to the final hour of the day when you've finally tucked them in bed.

Stress comes from all of the negative events we've just mentioned above, among many others. However, stress can also stem from joyous occasions - yes, even those that warrant celebration: promotions, birthdays, parties, and accomplishments. How is this so?

In this light, it can be said that moving in to a new, bigger home, getting married, and having a new baby can be stressful because they are situations that aren't always easy to manage. Without the right stress management skills, these happy occasions can easily turn into a person's downfall. In order to prevent being weighed down by huge experiences, good and bad, you have to have the adequate skills to manage the stresses that come in life. To help you out, this book will teach you how to handle certain stressful situations, as well as life lessons that you can apply day to day for the rest of your parenting life.
