Summary
Parenting is an inherently stressful experience for individuals across sociodemographic backgrounds; parenting in the context of a child anxiety or depressive disorder can exacerbate stress levels. Yet, such effects from child to parent are not unidirectional; there is a strong intergenerational link among anxiety and depression, suggesting a complex interplay of genetic and environmental experiences that contributes to child, parent, and overall family well-being. Few parenting behaviors are uniformly associated with more/fewer internalizing symptoms in children though parent warmth has been negatively associated with anxiety and depression in youth across ages, genders, and cultures (Rothenberg et al., 2020). In contrast, parent psychological control has been consistently associated with greater levels of internalizing symptoms across diverse samples of youth. Given the role of the family in youth anxiety and depression, prevention and intervention programs have integrated parents in a variety of ways with mixed results. Future work that examines the complex interplay of child, parent, family, and broader cultural variables using increasingly sophisticated methodological and statistical approaches is needed to move the field forward in substantive ways.
