1) Mediating Effects of Parental Stress on Harsh Parenting and Parent-Child Relationship during Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic in Singapore
Based on the Parental Stress Model, this study aims to understand how parents’ perceived impact of COVID-19 increased harsh parenting and reduced parent-child relationship closeness through the mediating effects of parenting stress
2) Stress and parenting during the global COVID-19 pandemic

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chiabu.2020.1046993) Parents’ Distress and Poor Parenting during COVID-19: The Buffering Effects of Partner Support and Cooperative Coparenting
Leveraging an ongoing longitudinal study, the current study tests whether parents’ distress during a mandated lockdown predicts residual changes in poorer parenting andidentifieswithin-family support processes that buffer these harmful effects https://psyarxiv.com/nxdsk/
4) “Let’s Not Pretend It’s Fun”: How COVID-19-Related School and Childcare Closures are Damaging Mothers’Well-Being
The COVID-19 pandemic closed schools and childcare centers across the U.S., forcing many parents to care for children at home. While parents generally enjoy time with children and want more “family time,” evidence also suggests that substantial, unanticipated increases in parenting time may negatively impact at least some mothers’ well-being. We investigate this possibility using surveys (N=139) and in-depth interviews (N=65) with mothers of young children in Southern Indiana conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). 10.31235/osf.io/jyvk4
5) Parental Burnout and Child Maltreatment During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The purpose of this paper is to review the concept of parental burnout, discuss parental burnout in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, and focus specifically on the effects of child maltreatment. Implications for practitioners will be discussed.
6) Child Maltreatment during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Consequences of Parental Job Loss on Psychological and Physical Abuse Towards Children
The current study investigated factors associated with child maltreatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, including parental job loss, and whether cognitive reframing moderated associations between job loss and child maltreatment.
7) Material hardship and parenting stress among grandparent kinship providers during the COVID-19 pandemic: The mediating role of grandparents’ mental health.

8) Associations Between Work-Family Balance, Parenting Stress, and Marital Conflicts During COVID-19 Pandemic in Singapore.
To identify profiles of parents’ work-family balance (WFB) and social support and examine their links with parenting stress and marital conflict.
9) Risk and resilience in family well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic poses an acute threat to the well-being of children and families due to challenges related to social disruption such as financial insecurity, caregiving burden, and confinement-related stress (e.g., crowding, changes to structure, and routine). The consequences of these difficulties are likely to be longstanding, in part because of the ways in which contextual risk permeates the structures and processes of family systems. The current article draws from pertinent literature across topic areas of acute crises and long-term, cumulative risk to illustrate the multitude of ways in which the well-being of children and families may be at risk during COVID-19.
10) COVID-19 Life Events Spill-Over on Family Functioning and Adolescent Adjustment
In this longitudinal study, we examined parent and youth perceptions of how life events, both positive and negative, associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
resulted in changes in family functioning as well as youth functioning. We tested both direct effects of parent- and youth-reported negative and positive events
as well as indirect or spillover effects that have their effects on parent functioning and marital relationships. 10.21203/rs.3.rs-90361/v1OTHER LOCAL STUDIES ON PARENTING DURING COVID/CB OR COVID-19 RELATED RESOURCES
