Association among parents’ stress recovery experiences, parenting practices, and children’s behavioral problems: a cross-sectional study

The results indicate that the higher the level of parents' stress recovery experiences, the lower the level of reported children's behavioral problems. Parents' stress recovery experiences correlated with parenting practices, which partially mediated the relationship of the parents' stress recovery with children's behavioral problems. The suggestion is that increasing parents' stress recovery experiences, improving parenting practices and related behaviors, and strengthening the parent-child relationship are important measures that can be mutually beneficial for parents, children, and the overall family relationship.
