Knowledge about child development is associated with parenting and children's outcomes. Parents with less accurate knowledge about developmental milestones may have unrealistic expectations for their child's behavior, which may affect parent well-being. Limited research has examined this topic relative to depression, but other aspects of parent well-being (e.g., parenting stress) are unexplored.
