Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unmanageable parental stress, such as financial stress, can increase the risk of child maltreatment. Studies have found that parents who experience high levels of stress are more likely to engage in abusive behaviors towards their children. Authoritative child rearing, on the other hand, is associated with positive outcomes for children and does not increase the risk of maltreatment. Lack of quality child care and school truancy may be risk factors for other negative outcomes, but are not strongly associated with child maltreatment.
