Protecting children from stress during the festive season

Posted on 24 Dec 2009 - Permalink

While the holiday season can be a very special time, it can also be a time of stress and difficulty for adults, a time when even the strongest of family relationships can be sorely tested.

For more infomation about how to protect children from stress during the festive season, read the Information Sheet developed by the Family Relationship Centre.

This can be a particularly difficult time for parents who have separated or formed new relationships and may need to negotiate time spent with children over the holidays.
