Definition: Estimated percentage of adults with caregiving responsibilities for children ages 0-17 who have a positive experience and have a stressful experience helping their children with schoolwork, by type of experience and household income level (e.g., in Wave 4, 62% of California caregivers living in households with annual incomes below $30,000 had positive experiences helping their children with schoolwork).
Data Source: Family Experiences During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (Jun. 2022). Questionnaire: American Academy of Pediatrics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Prevent Child Abuse America & Tufts Medical Center; California oversample: Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health & California Essentials for Childhood Initiative (California Dept. of Public Health, Injury and Violence Prevention Branch & California Dept. of Social Services, Office of Child Abuse Prevention).
Footnote: Positive experiences are those about which caregivers somewhat or strongly agree with the statement, Helping my child(ren) with their education, including remote schoolwork, has been a positive experience, and/or has brought us closer. Stressful experiences are those about which caregivers somewhat or strongly agree with the statement, Helping my child(ren) with their education, including remote schoolwork, has been very stressful, and/or has resulted in increased tension at home. Positive and stressful experiences are not mutually exclusive (see Positive but Stressful Experiences Helping Children with Schoolwork). The questionnaire was administered during the following periods: Nov. 9 – Dec. 11, 2020 (Wave 1); Mar. 22 – Apr. 12, 2021 (Wave 2); Jul. 8 – Jul. 27, 2021 (Wave 3); Jun. 3 – Jun. 29, 2022 (Wave 4). These data are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. The annotation [!] indicates that the estimate’s margin of error is at least 5 percentage points but less than 10 percentage points.
