In some ways, the early childhood parent life journey feels like a breeze after the demanding newborn and toddler years. You might be able to reclaim some of that pre-child free time *gasp* now that your child is going to school and having play dates. Plus, you get to unlock new levels of pride and joy as you watch them explore, grow, and learn more about this crazy world.
But as you know by now, there are challenges around the corner at every stage of the parent life journey.

What is Seldom Said About The Early Childhood Parent Life Journey
Your child is becoming more independent, but that comes with its own set of difficulties. From navigating academic demands to managing behavioral shifts and sibling dynamics, each day brings new complexities. The morning rush to get ready for school, behavioral challenges like boundary-testing and emotional outbursts, and the evolving dynamics between siblings might make you feel like you’re constantly being tested. These challenges are especially hard for High Achievers that strive for perfectionism in every area of their lives.
Plus, balancing your professional ambitions while guiding your child’s educational journey adds layers of complexity. The transition from preschool to formal education settings can bring about adjustments in routines and expectations. Parents now also have to deal with managing screen time so that your child gets a healthy amount of physical activity and creative play.
You’re not alone if you’re struggling with:
- School transitions
- Behavioral challenges
- Sibling dynamics
- Educational support
- Screen time management
- Work-life balance
The demands and stressors of babyhood may be fading away, but parents of young children still aren’t immune to feelings of burnout, loneliness, and overwhelm. According to a survey conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA), 34% of parents reported experiencing burnout often or always. Another study by the Pew Research Center found that 71% of parents reported feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information they need to know to be a good parent at least sometimes. And even though parents may have more time for social activities as their children get older, a survey conducted by Cigna reported 61% of parents feeling lonely some or all of the time.
