Abstract
COVID-19 exposed how anxiety is transmitted from parents to children. Using structural equation modeling, the relationship between parental influences, child COVID-19 worry, and precaution behaviors is established. Parental precautions predicted child precautions in 2021 (.197, p < .05). Parental worry predicted child worry in 2021 (.385, p < .05).
