November 26, 2015 When You Bring Work Stress Home, Your Kids Notice According to a new report from Project: Time Off, 80% of kids have noticed their parents bringing work stress home with them. Surveying more than 700 kids between 8 and 14 years of age as well as their parents, the report found that parents who regularly checked in with work after hours were 20 percentage points more likely to have stressed-out kids than parents who rarely or never brought work home. Nearly six in ten children also said their parents had missed events like school plays, soccer games, awards ceremonies, and even major holidays for work.
