Video-Call Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Parenting Stress

Parenting-associated stress has adverse impacts on the well-being of parents, children, and the family system. Daily parenting demands could be exciting periods full of happiness and joy. However, parenting can be a source of irritation and frustration for most parents. The nurturing of young children presents challenges, particularly around mealtimes and bedtimes. Parenting young children might also incorporate many feelings and behaviors. Problems found in the nurturing of older children include difficult attitudes, substance use, curfews, technology use, and dating. Although every event in isolation can be inconsequential, it is the consolidation of events over time undergone together with other bases of life stress, such as relationship disagreements and unemployment, which can contribute to substantial parenting stress. The buildup of tension can result in significant complications for parents and children. A parent might handle minor stresses such as child behavior problems, overbearing loss, financial accountabilities, and relationship discord. Still, these independent stressors amass and have a tremendous impact on the parent. There are few analyses on the efficiency of cognitive-behavioral therapy offered via the phone in eliminating parenting stress. This study will explore the impact of video call-based cognitive-behavioral therapy on parenting stress at 42 days and six months postnatal.
