Back-to-School Growing Pains: Navigate Chaos, Relationship Friction, and Parenting Curveballs
“School’s out!”—three words that spike stress for millions of working parents 😅
A May 2025 survey of 2,000 U.S. millennial parents found one in three expect this summer to be their most stressful yet, with nearly half worried about juggling work and kids’ schedules. Another report shows 53 % of working parents still scramble for childcare—and only half have any backup options. The result? Sky-high burnout: almost a third of parents say they’re “sailing close to burnout,” and 90 % admit they’re losing sleep over caregiving stress.
If that feels familiar, take heart. This guide lays out practical, evidence-based strategies to help you survive (and maybe enjoy) summer break—plus a path to deeper, lasting relief with Sweetgrass Therapy, Glen Ellyn’s trusted counseling practice for overwhelmed parents.
