What Is Parental Burnout?
The existence of parental burnout is not in doubt today. It accumulates when chronic stress overwhelms your ability to function in your parental role. It’s different from ordinary tiredness or occasional frustration.
The emotional exhaustion of parental burnout affects both mothers and fathers. It disrupts usual routines and can create distance between you and your children.
Research shows the prevalence of parental burnout is higher than many realize. Parents of children of all ages experience it. Single parents face particular risk factors.
