Since early 2024, I have been co-directing a project on stay-at-home parents with my colleague, Elliot Haspel, through an organization called Capita. Among other things, we conducted a survey on almost 1,500 stay-at-home parents to ask them about who they were, what challenges they faced, and what help they wanted and needed. We also ran four focus groups: one with rural stay-at-home parents in North Carolina, one with Hispanic stay-at-home moms (conducted in Spanish with the help of a translator), and two groups with parents whose religion plays a foundational role in their lives.
