Abstract: At present, people’s life pressure is increasing. In order to help alleviate the pressure of professional mothers’ upbringing, in this study, the treatment program for working mothers or parental education program was analyzed. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 278 mothers of male and female infants aged 0–5 in three kindergartens in Liaocheng City, Shandong Province. SPSS 23.0 software was used for frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. This study aims to improve the mood and self-esteem of working mothers with young children, and briefly introduce the policy of providing important support in addition to relatives. The results show that: first, the age of children is the cause of mother’s parenting pressure. The younger the children are, the greater the parenting pressure is; second, the higher the mother’s sense of parenting efficacy, the lower the parenting pressure; third, the higher the mother’s self-esteem, the lower the parenting pressure; fourth, the social support that working mothers receive may reduce their childcare pressure. Reducing the parental rearing pressure of working mothers with low self-esteem can help actively promote the positive development of their children. This article provides some reference for the relief of the pressure of professional mothers’ parenting.
