Show by Dr. Taniesha Burke
Feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or burned out as a parent even when you’re doing everything you can? Kristin Faith Evans shares practical ways to calm your nervous system, reduce parental stress, and become more present with your children without adding more to your already full schedule. In this episode of Family Dialogues with Dr. Burke, award-winning author, licensed master social worker, and disability parent Kristin Faith Evans returns to discuss her new book, The Frazzled Parent’s Guide to Less Stress. Kristin explains how chronic stress affects the brain, body, parenting, and relationships, and why small moments of mindfulness can make a meaningful difference. You’ll learn how to use diaphragmatic breathing, breath prayer, nervous system regulation, Christian mindfulness, and simple daily resets to respond to your children with greater calm and compassion. We also discuss: Why technology and constant notifications can increase parental stress How parental stress can affect children’s emotional well-being Signs that stress may require professional support How to calm yourself before reacting to your child Kristin’s Pray, Ponder, Practice, and Plan approach How Christians can practice mindfulness through a biblical lens Setting boundaries and saying no when your family is already at capacity How stress management can strengthen your marriage What couples can do when both partners are overwhelmed Why starting with one tiny habit may be more effective than trying to overhaul your life Kristin’s message is simple: self-care and stress management do not have to become another assignment. Sometimes change begins with one breath, one pause, and one fully present moment.
