Hickerson’s husband wasn’t able to work from home, so that meant she had little time for video counseling of clients. That dropped to 40 percent among parents with children in middle school who do not also have children in elementary school and to 26 percent among parents with children in high school. For working parents with both older and younger children, elder siblings appear to be taking some pressure off. But that rises to 71 percent among parents with elementary school children who don’t also have older children at home. The margin of sampling error for the overall sample is plus or minus three percentage points and is 3.5 points among the sample of working parents.
