Professor of Psychological Science Holly Schiffrin was quoted by the Italian online newspaper Open for an article titled “School closures are parents’ nightmares: what is “parental burnout”, how it manifests itself and how to fight it.”

For the piece, Schiffrin said, “The growing pressure to be constantly present and involved parents not only translates into greater stress and less psychological well-being for them, but also does not seem to necessarily produce proportionate benefits for children.” Read the article from Open.
