Two childhood experts, Dr Punam Krishan and Sophie Pickles, share helpful advice on diagnosing and treating parental burnout
August 16, 2021 - 07:11 BST Sophie Hamilton Having a child is one of the most rewarding things you can do in life – bringing a small person into the world, helping them learn and grow, not to mention all those wonderful cuddles.
Here, NHS GP Dr Punam Krishan and Early Years Expert and Parent Coach Sophie Pickles outline the signs, consequences and treatment for parental burnout, plus how to avoid it. Emotional exhaustion Sophie explains:"Parents may feel drained, emotionally exhausted and unable to cope with even the day-to-day tasks of life, never mind all the extra demands that parenting brings. They may suffer cognitive impairment and be unable to think clearly."
Dangerous consequences of parental burnout Sophie Pickles says:"According to Professor Moïra Mikolajczak from the University of Louvain in Belgium, studies have shown that parental burnout has the same consequences as professional burnout: sleep disorders, health problems, increased alcohol consumption and suicidal thoughts."
"If repeatedly you are using words like, 'low, drained, stressed, tired, sad, angry, fed up' – these are red flags and mustn't be ignored. Speak to someone you trust early or your GP because left alone, this will only get worse over time."
