Seven out of 10 Spanish parents are leaving their mental health, according to a survey by Lingokids. Eight out of ten feel, on the one hand, guilty for not dedicating to their children the hours they should.
The result is exhaustion, stress, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, moodiness and irritability. The message sent by the professionals is simple: relax and let the children climb the trees again, splash in the puddles and play without so much supervision. A study published in Journal Pediatrics suggests that the scarce opportunities that our children have today are triggering cases of depression and suicide.
