The chaos of summer is over. Kids have gone back to school. But fall brings a whole new set of challenges. We parents have spent the past few weeks creating complex matrices — schedules for child care, after-school activities, and car pools. But by next week, someone will get sick, or a babysitter will quit, and the house of cards will come tumbling down. Fear not, though: The surgeon general has our back.
A new report from Vivek Murthy classifies parental stress as a public-health problem and proposes a slate of policies to mitigate it. In his words, parenting today often poses “daunting challenges and significant, sometimes relentless, stress.” But Murthy’s medicalization of the problem is unlikely to help, and his nanny-state solutions could make matters worse.
