Fatherly

Fall is the season of leaf peeping and apple picking, bonfires and fake bats hanging in front yards. But it’s also the start of school and, for many workers, the beginning of Q4 which is often the most stressful stretch of the year. As such, it’s important to recognize the signs of parental burnout. In addition to keeping tabs on your own well-being and finding ways to manage your stress, it’s crucial to do the same for your partner. Because it’s often those who know us best who can spot changes. And when you do recognize it, learning how to provide the right kind of support is crucial.

Is Your Partner Stressed? Up The Appreciation
It’s always important to express appreciation for your partner and all that they do. When they’re stressed? It’s even more so. “When feeling stressed and overwhelmed, it’s often because we feel unacknowledged or unappreciated,” says therapist Amber Trueblood. “Sending a text message with specific and genuine words of appreciation to your partner can help remind them that the most important person in their life values and acknowledges all of their hard work.” Then, follow up in person. The key is to be specific in your appreciation, to say “I see all that you do, and I don’t take you for granted.”

Here are a few texts to send when your husband or wife is stressed out.
