A

(2018·太原二模)“Stop all the rushing and screaming: too much excitement is bad for families. Kids are missing out on an essential life—relaxed down time，” says Dr. Charlotte Reznick.

“Parents work, and kids do scheduled activities—there's little family time without pressure，” says Reznick. “One parent is taking the son to a soccer game, and the other parent is taking the daughter to her swim meet. Then there's the art class, baseball practice, extra tutoring, and more! By the time the family meet up for dinner, everyone is exhausted.”

All the rushing makes for a short temper. “When parents are reduced to shouting at their children to get them to listen，they lower their own self－esteem as well as losing the respect of their children，” says Dr. Carl Pick­hardt. “While parents think it shows they're serious about what they're saying，they are really just showing helpless desperation at not getting their way.”

These days what kids are learning at school and from the outside is a lot greater than it used to be even just a generation ago.

“The problem is that stress relieving activities—reading，taking walks or hot baths, watching the sunset and other activities are not even part of most kids' experience any more，” says Reznick.

“There are so many more social interaction opportunities in our computer age, but not all of them promote meaningful connections，which is another potential outlet for stress，” she says.

One way to relieve stress is a simple technique called “the balloon breath”. It's a great way for everyone to become calm so that they can respond thoughtfully rather than just react.

Here's how to do it. Imagine a deflated(未充气的) balloon in your stomach—about two to three inches below your navel(肚脐). Slowly breathe in to a count of 1... 2... 3... and feel the lower belly expand, and flatten as you slowly breathe out to a count of 1... 2... 3...
