Abstract : This study explores parental behavior toward teachers and how challenging interactions contribute to burnout, affecting lesson preparation and overall well-being. Using a mixed-methods approach, it incorporates a survey questionnaire addressing key study concerns and an open-ended question for respondent recommendations. The participants were elementary teachers from Pre-school level to Grade 6 of Arellano University-Plaridel Campus. Findings indicate that parental behavior is often negative, but teachers with strong support systems—colleagues, family, and friends—along with effective coping strategies, experience less stress and emotional exhaustion. While burnout cannot be entirely avoided, it can be prevented with proper support.
