Despite increasing research into connections between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and health problems, the impact of parental ACEs on parenting practices has not been sufficiently clear. The objective of the study was to consider whether the association between maternal ACEs and child maltreatment is affected by three mediating factors: socio‐economic status (SES), social support and maternal psychological distress in adulthood. The Kochi Child Health Impact of Living Difficulty (K‐CHILD) study (2016) provided the data for this study. Mothers who had children in the first, fifth, eighth and eleventh grade and who lived in the Kochi Prefecture of Japan participated. A pool of 11,954 completed child and caregiver questionnaires was used for analysis. We found that a large number of maternal ACEs was connected to higher risk of physical abuse, psychological abuse and neglect. Maternal psychological distress had the greatest mediating effect. Maternal ACEs can be a risk factor for maltreatment of children. This study suggests that care for mothers with psychological distress will be a key intervention to break the cycle of childhood adversity.
