HealthDay (5/1, Thompson) reports a survey by The Kids Mental Health Foundation found that “children’s mental health is an increasing source of stress for parents.” According to the online survey involving 1,081 parents of children younger than 18, “nearly all parents (97%) reported that they felt stress related to parenting in the past month, the survey showed. Nearly 1 in 3 (30%) said they experienced stress ‘often.’ And two of the top sources of stress are children’s behavioral issues (35%) or children’s emotional and mental health (26%), the survey found. Unfortunately, nearly half of parents (46%) said their stress makes their children more anxious or worried.”
