This week we discussed stress. Unfortunately myself and my baby (Hayden) have a viral infection, so I wasn't able to attend today's class about coping with stress. We discussed the stress model which is:
A- stressors and hardships
B- management of stress
C- family's definition of situation
X- outcome (could be long term)
When a stress or hardship occurs in the family each family member can define it differently, therefore cope with it differently. How you manage and define the stressor determines the outcome. We can decide to manage and define a stressor in a more positive light and the outcome would be more positive.
