It’s not only students who are stressed about school: Six in 10 parents are so worried about their child that they’ve lost sleep in the back-to-school season. A new survey of 2,000 parents of school-aged children (aged 5–18) revealed that 57% find the back-to-school season to be the most stressful part of the year. From worries over their child making friends at school to concerns about school lunches or academic success, results revealed that parents actually worry MORE than their child (29% vs. 12%).
