Millennials face a unique parenting experience characterized by access to vast information and different standards than previous generations. Trends like gentle parenting reflect insights into child development and trauma awareness. Financial pressures affect modern parents, as childcare costs have risen significantly, consuming a sizable portion of their income. These stressors contribute to deteriorating mental health among parents, who report heightened stress levels. Support systems are essential, yet generational differences challenge the ways grandparents assist. Millennial parents express a desire for their parents to recognize and adapt to these changes in parenting dynamics.
Today's parents have access to infinitely more information than their parents had, and they hold themselves to a different set of standards.
Many parents today believe that if you want to raise kind, respectful kids, you start by treating them with kindness and respect.
Families today are spending an average of 24% of their income on childcare - that's more than triple the 7% the Department of Health and Human Services considers affordable.
Parental mental health is suffering due to an intensifying culture of comparison among parents, causing them to report significantly higher rates of stress than adults without children.
