Abstract

This prospective longitudinal study (n=184 parent-infant dyads) investigated the relationship between pandemic-related worries during pregnancy and child development at 12 months. More pregnancy-specific pandemic worries were associated with lower levels of child socioemotional development (parent-report and observer ratings). However, this association was buffered by high parental emotion regulation in the early postpartum period. Findings suggest negative consequences of parental worry during pregnancy on early child socioemotional development, highlighting parental emotion regulation as a potential target for intervention.
