Dr. Vivek Murthy's recent advisory on parental stress underscores the longstanding challenges parents face today, including financial pressure and inadequate social support. While the report sheds light on these issues, the proposed solutions—such as workplace flexibility and mental health resources—fall short. Parents are left longing for substantial policy changes, like universal access to daycare and better support options, to truly address the escalating levels of stress they experience. The advisory highlights the need for a systemic approach to empower and support modern parents effectively.
Parenting is historically stressful; the surgeon general's new advisory highlights this but lacks concrete solutions to truly support parents.
