The coronavirus pandemic and the mental health of their children are the biggest causes of stress for parents in the U.S. according to a survey from Blue Shield of California.
The survey, conducted in early October, asked 1,000 parents with children younger than 18 about their own key stressors this year.
Researchers found that when it came to education, nearly half of parents were most concerned about COVID-19 health risks, followed by helping their child with remote learning.
The parents surveyed said they believed their children were more stressed about the disease and COVID-19’s impact on their social lives than the quality of education they were receiving during the pandemic.
It also found that Black parents were twice as likely to be stressed about discussing racial justice issues with their kids than white parents.
