Pharmacy Times (2/22, Hunter) reports “findings from a new study suggest that parental” adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) “– although they are associated with poor mental health outcomes – may be directly associated with parenting behaviors.” The study found “parental ACEs were directly associated with use of corporal punishment.” Furthermore, “stress was directly and positively associated with an inconsistent discipline style of parenting, although it may be difficult to conclude that parental stress is associated with inconsistent discipline.” The findings were published in Acta Psychologica.
