The start of the school year is stressful, and not just for kids – for parents too.
Parents have also been out of practice when it comes to in-person activities: balancing school drop-offs, after-school commitments and returning to the office.
“The start of school is stressful no matter if there’s a pandemic or not,” said Julie Lamb, a working mom of four kids. “It’s busy with all the new activities. Reintegrating into all of that after a year and a half of being out of a lot of those activities is hard to balance.”
