family solved problem of having to placate the family and watch what they were watching or listen to what they would listen to... got earphones....with all types of media on armband ...parents can listen to world war 2 stories and i can check e-mail. or watch a movie or audio books and listen to music downloaded from the computer all on a little device that fits on my arm like a tiny blood pressure cuff.


Sorting out or stressors in manageable chunks is a key to empowerment. We can't avoid family stress altogether, but finding ways to deal with it is the key.
