When The Kids Drive You Crazy:

Part 2 of Mental Health for Mom and Dad

Parenting is the hardest job there is. The image of child abuse is often of a cruel parent who is torturing their children for entertainment. The reality of child abuse is that happens, but it is the minority. MOST child abuse happens when parents who want to be good parents are pushed over the limit with stress. Proper support of parents can significantly reduce child abuse.

If you are a parent who is feeling unable to treat your children the way you want to, Parents Anonymous is the place for you. The focus is on giving parents the tools and support they need to become better parents, without blame and guilt.

This article by Dr. Marty Tashman gives great tips on how to reduce parenting stress.
