It is hard enough dealing with your own stress and anxiety as a parent let alone trying to prevent your child from developing similar emotions. If you find yourself feeling anxious or stressed out around your child be mindful of how you behave and speak as they will notice and relate those emotions and behaviors to the situation. It is also helpful to notice and try to avoid taking out your emotions on your child. They do not deserve it nor is it always their fault. If your child witnesses you in a stressful moment or when you act out it is valuable to explain yourself to them about why you acted a certain way and if you should have acted differently. It is important to find time for yourself and take breaks when you need to. If you are having troubles dealing with your stress, it may be a good idea to seek professional help and you can learn and teach your child how to handle situations and how to remain calm.
