“…The present findings are also in line with earlier research that has shown a close relationship between parents' well-being and stress and children's well-being (H4 and H5; e.g. Headey et al, 2014;Jones et al, 2021). This relationship might have been enhanced during the COVID-19 pandemic, because during the lockdown many children were solely dependent on their parents.…”

“…Mothers seem to be particularly important in this relationship: mothers have a greater influence on the life satisfaction of their children than fathers (Headey et al, 2014). Relatedly, parental stress (RQ5) is associated with a number of negative child outcomes, from child obesity (Parks et al, 2012) to emotional and behavioural problems (Jones et al, 2021). Research conducted in response to traumatic events suggests that the relationship between parents' and children's well-being is particularly important in this context.…”

COVID-19 triggered social restrictions worldwide including the shutdown of schools. Whereas research has documented the negative effects on parents' well-being, less is known about children's well-being during the pandemic. We investigated the well-being, emotions, and COVID-19-related attitudes of 87 Norwegian elementary children (42 boys, 45 girls; M age = 9.66 years, SD = 1.77) and their mothers (M age = 39.69 years; SD = 5.79) in June 2020. Children reported reduced well-being relative to European norms. In line with research on child well-being before the pandemic, living in a one-parent home was associated with lower child well-being and more negative emotions during the pandemic, and mother's well-being was related to child well-being. Concerning attitudes towards COVID-19-related restrictions, we found a positive relationship between child age and attitudes and between children's attitudes and well-being. Implications for protecting children from negative effects of the ongoing and future pandemics are discussed.

“…Among ethnic minorities, low SES is associated with psychological distress, leading to less positive parenting (Emmen et al, 2013 ). The “spillover effect” from economic hardship might increase the risk of parents practicing violent behavior toward their children (Jones et al, 2021 ). Despite the stereotype of model minority, due to relatively high socioeconomic status among Asian Americans in general (Ishii-Kuntz et al, 2010 ), their socioeconomic status can vary.…”

Parents face various stressors in their daily lives, and their child discipline practices are likely to be affected by the stressors. Existing research suggests that parental stress is a significant contributor to child maltreatment, but more research is needed, particularly among Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) families. This study examined the relationship between economic hardship and aggravation in parenting and three types of child maltreatment (i.e., psychological aggression, physical assault, and neglect) in AAPI families through secondary data analysis of a longitudinal de-identified data set. This study analyzed a sample size of 146 AAPI children, with mothers as the primary caregiver. Economic hardship was positively associated with psychological aggression ( β = 3.104, p < .01) and physical assault ( β = 1.803, p < .05). Aggravation in parenting was positively associated with neglect ( β = 0.884, p < .05). The findings suggest that AAPI parents are more likely to use certain child maltreatment methods when they experience specific stressors. Researchers and practitioners should consider the various stressors that AAPI families face and how other social or economic challenges can compound these stressors.

“…Recent studies sought to extend this research by measuring perceived negative impact in parents of children with ASD. Although it is not a focus of this study, increased parental burden and hence stress, has downstream effects on child development for both children with and without ASD (Crum & Moreland, 2017; Jones et al, 2021; Raina et al, 2004; Shine & Perry, 2010).…”

Caregivers raising a child with autism experience increased parental burden, though many have positive experiences as well. Perceived negative impact, a form of parental burden, is the degree to which a caregiver reports negative financial, social, and emotional experiences associated with having a child with a disability. This longitudinal study defined parental perceived negative impact trajectory classes across time, determined predictors, and explored the relationship between functional adult outcomes and impact class. Participants (n = 209) were comprised of caregivers whose child received an ASD diagnosis or had developmental delay. Latent class growth modeling defined three trajectory classes (e.g., low [n = 68, 32.54%], medium [n = 98, 46.89%], and high [n = 43, 20.57%]). Regressions revealed the low impact trajectory class had more caregivers who were racial minorities, less educated, and more socially supported. Membership in the high negative impact class was associated with increased childhood hyperactivity, irritability, autism symptomology, and poor adaptive skills. The low negative impact trajectory class was associated with young adults achieving more functional outcomes. Overall negative impact declined over time all for all classes, though never completely subsided. Possible implications for clinical practices are discussed
