Friday Review - A Day of Routine Makes Everything Better

It is incredible what a single day can do for not only your demeanor but that of your child's as well. 

This Wednesday's episodes I talked about (ok I complained) about how our recent holiday trip did not go as planned.  Being out of our normal routines. our kids struggled.  Abnormal living quarters.  Different eating habits.  Familiar faces we had not seen in over a year.   All of these changes can add up to significant stimuli on the way our brain interprets the world around us.  Thus, this can make handling stressful situations that much harder to tackle.

However, once we get back into our normal day-to-day routines, stress can be much more easily managed.  Our brain can go on autopilot with our surroundings, allowing us to completely focus on the stressor at hand. 

This Friday's show I discuss just how being back in our house for 24 hours as completely changed what felt like a never ending battle.
