Mother's Day 2008
Unfortunately for some of us, Mother's Day is a difficult and anxious day. If you are like many mothers of special needs children, you may need some tips to help manage that stress and anxiety. Here are four favorites:
1. Let others know you're feeling overwhelmed and tell them how they can help.
2. Remember to breathe. A few slow deep breaths can do wonders.
3. Use and welcome humor. A good laugh can go a long way.
4. Don't underestimate the value of rest and sleep. When stressed, your body needs time
to recover.
