The Strength of Families
Holidays and Get-togethers
These articles will help you reduce the stress of family get-togethers.
We begin this family section with articles about the holidays because it is during end-of-the-year holidays and summer reunions when there is a great deal of emphasis — and stress — on families. That's often because we so often try to create a "perfect" get-together for sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, cousins and assorted in-laws.
The suggestions you'll find in these articles can help you reduce the stress of those occasions by reducing your guilt and by finding ways that everyone in the family can be included, so there's less stress on one or two who usually carry the burden of making the occasion memorable. |
