Parenting stress refers to the feelings of pressure, strain, and tension experienced by parents as they take on the multiple responsibilities of raising and caring for their children. This stress can come from various sources, such as financial concerns, managing work and family balance, dealing with challenging behaviors from children, and the desire to meet societal expectations of what it means to be a "good" parent. Parenting stress can have negative impacts on both parents and children, including decreased parent-child bonding, increased risk of parental mental health issues, and potential negative effects on children's development and well-being. Research in this area aims to understand the causes of parenting stress, its effects on families, and to develop strategies to help parents cope effectively with the challenges of raising children.
