Thats an unfair response Delta alum. I am surprised that you would be flippant that way.
If a person goes into parenting without a developed perspective of the effects of stress and anxiety on a child then its an issue that probably will never be addressed or understood . . . or it will be too late and the child will grow up needing medication.
To spell it out a little cleaner. We know that sleep is crucial for kids and adults, so many parents develop a system that encourage enough sleep. Bed times, no sugar or soda before bed etc.
Over the years we have learned that diet can have major effect of mood. In fact it can be a determinant of it. So a saavy parent devises ways to keep the amount of sugar in a child's diet low, and provides nutrients that aren't readily available. The better you are at that, the more knowlege you have, the more likely you are to develop systems that give a good and consistent diet to a child.
So why not stress? Are there ways to diminish the amount of stress and anxiety a kid feels? Can you incoroporate those things into your "system?" Absolutely.
Its a major thing issue that is mostly overlooked in both kids and adullts. And yet there is a huge body og knowledge out there on how dehabiliting stress is over time.
*shrug* I guess its not something taught in parent school.
