Rethinking Stress

Let’s be honest—when most of us hear the word stress, our shoulders instantly tense up. We think of sleepless nights, short tempers, and that all-too-familiar feeling of being totally maxed out. And if you’re a parent, you probably worry about how stress is affecting your kids too.

But what if stress isn’t always the villain? What if, sometimes, it’s actually trying to tell us something important?

Think back to a big moment in your family’s life. Maybe you brought home a new baby, started a new job, or moved into a different house. Maybe your child had a big performance, a test, or was about to try out for a team. These are exciting milestones—but let’s be real, they also come with a fair amount of nerves. That mix of anticipation and anxiety? Yep, that’s stress. But in those moments, isn’t stress also a sign that we care?

The same goes for our kids. Stress shows up before the science fair, when they’re figuring out a new friendship, or navigating schoolwork. And while we’d love to shield them from every tough emotion, it turns out that helping them understand stress—not just avoid it—is one of the most powerful tools we can give them.

In fact, research shows that how we think about stress changes how we experience it. When we see it as a signal of something meaningful—something that matters—we’re less likely to feel overwhelmed by it. And when we model that mindset for our children, we’re teaching them that stress isn’t something to fear. It’s something to face—with courage, curiosity, and care.

So maybe it’s time we change the conversation. Instead of seeing stress as something to escape, what if we saw it as something that can teach us—and our kids—how to grow stronger?
