Rescue From The Vicious Cycle Of Stress

2nd August 2007 Print
Life is stressful. If you’re a parent, the constant juggling act is draining and can be overwhelming. A recent survey by natural stress buster Rescue Remedy has found that looking after a modern day family is exhausting, but can also fuel a bad temper.

The most stressful aspect of being a parent is juggling the work / life balance (30%) and second place went to pressure to raise the ‘perfect’ child (13%). This concern is also reflected in the results of what parents find most stressful about their child’s education with the top worry unsurprisingly being bullying (22%), but coming a close second was getting into a good school (20%).

It is this constant stress of motivating a child to thrive and be successful that can be construed as ‘pushy parent syndrome’. But mums end up taking their stress out on their family (27%) which in turn could affect the child’s development. And the vicious cycle of stress may start even before a baby is born with new research finding this week that stress can affect a child from before it is even born by cortisol passing through the placenta.

Stress is a negative emotion which manifests itself as anger, tiredness, skin irritations and sleep problems. It also affects the people nearest and dearest as they are the ones that are turned to. Rescue Remedy is world-famous for quickly restoring inner calm and managing daily stresses. Formulated by Dr Edward Bach, a Harley Street doctor, in the 1930s, Rescue Remedy is effective, safe and natural and is now relied upon by millions of people when things get too much.

Carly Harding, Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner, says, “Two quick sprays of Rescue Remedy on the tongue will instantly restore calm and focus. It’s totally natural and non-drowsy so safe to take as often as needed by mums when they are feeling the day-to-day strains.”
