Large-scale changes due to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic negatively affected children’s mental health. Prior research suggests that children’s mental health problems during the pandemic may have been concurrently attenuated by an authoritative parenting style and exacerbated by family stress. However, there is a gap in the literature investigating these mechanisms and whether pre-pandemic authoritative parenting had a lasting positive influence on children’s mental health while they were exposed to pandemic-related family stressors. The current study begins to fill this gap by investigating these unique relationships in a sample of 106 4–8 year old children (51% female). Before the pandemic, caregivers completed questionnaires on their parenting style and their children’s depression and anxiety symptoms. Shortly after the onset of COVID-19’s stay-at-home mandate, parents answered questionnaires about their children’s depression and anxiety symptoms and pandemic-related family stressors. Child depression and anxiety symptom severity increased. Higher levels of pandemic-related family stress were associated with increases only in child anxiety scores. Further, greater endorsement of a pre-pandemic authoritative parenting style was associated with smaller changes only in child depression scores. Study findings elucidate unique and complex associations between young children’s anxiety and depression symptoms severity and pre-pandemic parenting and pandemic-related family stressors.
