Parent's
Time Out
October 12, 2001
This weekly feature of the Online Exchange
is committed to helping parents take back quality time and
devote it more fully to spending it with their children. Here is where you can start to take a Time Out from the TV, computer, housework, and bills. It only takes a few minutes to do fun and memorable things
with your children and we will lend a hand each week to get you started. Tune in here for encouragement, fun and easy things to do,
and other tidbits, all geared just for you and your precious ones.

Coping with Post-traumatic Stress
Since September 11th, I'm sure that you start each day still hoping that we
will just wake up from this nightmare. I feel that this series
of articles on Coping
with Post-traumatic Stress is very needed and timely
information.
The information covered includes:
- When Terror Strikes
- Post-traumatic Stress—What
Is It?
- Traumatic Stress Will End!
- Symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress
Please take a moment to read these. They
will help with the healing process that we all need after such a
horrific occurrence.
