Parents

Mothers who work part-time have been found to have more sensitivity and provide more learning opportunities than mothers who are not employed, while mothers who worked full time were found to provide more learning opportunities than those who worked part time. These differences were only found in early childhood.
Parenting stress has been found to be associated with personality traits of the parent with high neuroticism being more inclined to parenting stress while those with high extroversion had lower levels of parenting stress.
A mother's attachment to their own mother has been found to affect their children's quality of life, through its effect on the mother's self-compassion and parenting stress.
