By margins ranging from 10 to 34 percentage points, larger shares of lower-income parents than those with middle and upper incomes say they are extremely or very worried about each of the following happening to their children at some point: struggling with anxiety or depression, being bullied, being kidnapped or abducted, getting beaten up or attacked, having problems with drugs or alcohol, getting shot, getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant as a teenager, and getting in trouble with the police. (Only parents with children under age 18 were included in this study.)

Looking at parents’ own educational attainment, 51% of those with a postgraduate degree say it’s extremely or very important to them that their children graduate from college, followed by 43% of those with a bachelor’s degree and 40% of those with a high school diploma or less education.

There are also double-digit differences between mothers and fathers in the shares who say they feel judged at least sometimes by other parents in their community (41% vs. 27%), their friends (34% vs. 22%) and people they interact with on online groups or message boards (31% vs. 16%, among those who offered an answer, excluding those who said this didn’t apply).
