Parenting Sense of Competence Mediates COVID Stress and Child Behavior in the Presence of the Moderation of High Parental ACEs

This study looked at the relations between parenting sense of competence (PSOC), COVID-19 stress, and child behavior problems and the moderation of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on those associations. For parents with high ACEs but not low, PSOC significantly mediated the association between COVID-19 stress and child behavior problems.
