Parental Burnout: Practical Mental Health Tools for Exhausted Parents Dealing with Stress, Guilt, and Emotional Overload

If parenting were a job, most parents would be on sick leave by now.

You love your kids.

You’d also like five uninterrupted minutes without someone touching you, asking a question, or crying because you cut the toast “wrong.”

If parenting feels harder than it “should,” if small things send you over the edge, or if you’ve ever thought “I don’t recognize who I become after dinner,” you’re not failing. You’re burned out.

Written by Sonia Rompoti, a mental health therapist who has spent years working with parents and families, this book explains why modern parenting is so exhausting and what actually helps when your nervous system is fried and your patience has left the building. No guilt. No “just stay calm.” No pretending a deep breath fixes everything.

You’ll find practical, psychology-based tools for dealing with parental burnout, emotional overload, guilt, and parenting stress. The kind that work on real days. Loud days. Days when you’re doing your best and it still feels like too much.

Part of The Modern Parent Series: Practical Tools for Everyday Parenting, this book is for parents who want real help, not perfection.

So, just open the book. Start where you are. Give yourself the support you’ve been giving everyone else and let’s fix this once and for all. Help is already here.
