Good Idea: Reduce stress in your life!
https://www.nature.com/articles/npp2015247
Stress experienced by parents can affect their children, leading to various physical, behavioral, and cognitive outcomes. This influence, known as intergenerational transmission, can occur through genetic inheritance, social learning, or direct biological changes due to stress. For instance, parents' stress can affect how genes are turned on or off in their children, a process called epigenetics. This can result in long-lasting effects on the children's health and behavior.
