"Something has to change. Supporting parents and caregivers will require a series of thoughtful policy changes and expanded community programs that will help ensure parents and caregivers can get time off to be with a sick child, secure affordable child care, access reliable mental health care, and benefit from places and initiatives that support social connection and community."
"They didn't even tell me about wake windows. A two-week-old can only be awake for 45 minutes. I had no idea. I don't know why I thought the baby will sleep when it sleeps. You have to aid them. But they don't tell you that stuff. I'm pretty smart, too, and I still was like, no idea."
"Parents struggle with loneliness at higher rates than non-parents, which can exacerbate parental stress."
"As the report notes, parents are in need of connection and community which is essential for child-rearing and for overall caregiver mental health."
