Post-holiday exhaustion,
disappointment from unrealistic
expectations, upcoming
houseguest responsibilities and
small factors like increased
traffic on the roads are key
triggers for child abuse. If you notice that one parent, grandparent
or caretaker has reached the stress limit and is losing control with an
overtired or over-exuberant child, try this magic line to the adult to
defuse the situation:
“You must be exhausted. I don’t blame you! Why don’t I [take
him for a walk] [read her a story] [take over bath-time tonight]
while you have a break? ”

10. TAKE A NAP

We’re talking about you, the grownup. Don’t wait to max out on
stress. Take a cue from nursery school: slip away for a daily fifteen-
minute power nap. It’s free, it feels good, and life seems a whole lot
calmer when you wake up.
