BURNED OUT? WHAT HELPS? A PARENT'S GUIDE TO REDUCING STRESS & CALMING DOWN

Are you overwhelmed by the stress of trying to be a good parent? Of trying to do it all?

You're not alone. Research shows that about 1 in 3 parents have experienced high levels of stress in the past month.

Parenting today comes with enormous pressure. When the to-do lists never end and exhaustion creeps in, it’s no wonder parents sometimes feel like they’re running on empty:

• They can feel burned out.
• As tired as they may be, they may have a hard time getting enough sleep.
• They may have less patience.
• Their relationships with their loved ones, including their children, may be strained.

What’s causing the stress?

• Conflicting parenting advice – not knowing which advice to follow.
• Not knowing the "right" way to discipline – what to say, what to do.
• Not having enough time – Juggling the schedules: work, school, and family obligations.
• Trying to manage all the family conflict.
• Worrying about whether they’re spending enough quality time with their child.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s not because you’re failing — it’s because you care.
Stressed and overwhelmed parents are often the most conscientious ones. You're working hard to do it all. You just may need more support to get you through the long days.

Reducing your stress isn't selfish. You don’t need to “do it all” to be enough. You can find ways to ease your stress and calm your mind.
