The school year is here. Ready for it? (We’re talking to the parents out there)
After getting the supplies and new clothes purchased the stress doesn’t end there. There’s the daily routine in the morning before getting the kiddos out the door. That’s where most parents struggle especially after a year of remote learning. A new survey by Amazon and OnePoll showed nearly two in three families lost their morning routines during the pandemic due to remote learning.
The survey also revealed that mornings are the most stressful of the day for more than half of parents. Some of the parts that make it stressful include: getting their kids out of bed (42%), waking themselves up (39%), making breakfast (33%), and getting their kids dressed (25%).
