This week’s Barna Minute reveals how moms are currently doing both mentally and emotionally.
Motherhood involves a range of emotions, and it’s evident in Barna’s recent report, Motherhood Today. Although U.S. moms often report feeling someone cares for them, fewer than half (48%) say they experience this on a regular basis. Roughly this same number of mothers report regularly feeling anxious about important decisions (44%), overwhelmed with responsibilities (44%) and uncertain about the future (43%).
Data hints at a need to improve how moms are recognized and encouraged. Only about two in five moms (38%) say they regularly feel “someone believes in me” and “deeply cared for by those around me” (37%).
