by Young Living, an essential oils company, surveyed over 1,000 American parents with kids aged 2 to 12 years old. According to the study, 70 percent of parents are more stressed since the pandemic started. Unsurprisingly, women are also reporting more daily stress . However, the survey found that 56 percent of kids are also experiencing increased stress due to the pandemic—and they’re acting out.
The survey also found that 31 percent of parents see their children becoming stressed when they notice their parents’ stress. The top thing parents have been trying to keep constant for their kids in self-quarantine? A daily bedtime routine, as 54 percent of parents stated they tried to keep it constant. Within bedtime routines, 59 percent said they emphasized brushing teeth most, while 43 percent said reading a story together mattered most to them.
Despite all the challenges, many parents are also appreciative of the increased time they get to spend with their kids. In fact, 60 percent of parents say they’ve grown closer to their kids due to spending more time together. Plus, 92 percent of men and 81 percent of women say this time has changed their relationship with their kids.
