Abstract
We examined the associations between child daily stressors and parent health and well-being. Parents experienced higher negative affect, higher bedtime cortisol levels, and more physical symptoms on days when their children experienced stressors. Average levels of boys’ (but not girls’) stressors across the week also predicted parents’ affect and cortisol.
