Raising children is not easy, and parents can get burnt out just like anyone else. But research shows that parental burnout seems to be unique compare to other kinds of burnouts.

*This episode was written and recorded before most parents around the world started homeschooling because of coronavirus safety measures. Some of the suggestions in the video don't apply in times of social distancing, but the big ones do so we still felt this was an important video to share right now. You're doing great, parents!

And if you're looking for safe and educational content for your kids right now, we suggest this ongoing SciShow Kids livestream:    • SciShow Kids Tune In / Tune Out!
