Flexibility in work schedules is key to helping parents with young children balance work and caregiving responsibilities. Prior research shows that work schedule inflexibility is associated with greater parenting stress and work-family conflict. Through these negative implications for parental well-being, work schedule inflexibility may also adversely influence children’s socio-emotional development. This study uses data from an urban, birth-cohort sample of children born to predominantly unmarried parents, the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, to test the hypothesis that mothers’ perceived work schedule inflexibility is associated with children’s behavior problems at age 5 years. Results from lagged dependent variable models suggest that mothers’ high work schedule inflexibility was associated with more externalizing and internalizing behavior problems in their children, relative to experiencing low inflexibility. These associations were partially mediated by mothers’ parenting stress and depressive symptoms, and for externalizing behaviors only, these associations were concentrated among single-mother and low-income families.

We examined the differences in Korean children's daily routines and their mothers' perceived level of parenting stress according to socioeconomic status (SES). Mothers from low-income (239) and high-income (338) families with young children completed questionnaires regarding their perceived level of parenting stress and the daily routines of their children. We found significant differences between the 2 SES subgroups in terms of some of the dimensions of their children's daily routines. In addition, the low-income mothers experienced higher levels of maternal parenting stress compared to their high-income counterparts. Implications for research and parenting are discussed.

The study reported here considered the nature of associations among children's behavior problems, parenting stress, and mothers’ feelings of competence. Seventy-two adoptive mothers reported on their adopted children's behavior problems, their own parenting stress, and feelings of competence. Parenting stress was found to mediate the association between children's attention problems and mothers’ feelings of competence. When children exhibited higher levels of attention problems, their mothers felt more stress. In turn, when mothers experienced more parenting stress, they felt less competent as parents. Parenting stress moderated the association between children's internalizing behavior and mothers’ feelings of competence. A negative relationship between children's internalizing behavior and mothers’ feelings of competence was stronger when mothers reported more parenting stress than when they reported less parenting stress.
