Mother-child data of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were used to identify the parenting practices that mediate relations between persistent, recent and transitional poverty and the externalizing and internalizing behaviors of children four to five years old. Contrary to hypothesized relations, transitional poverty predicts fewer externalizing and internalizing behaviors.
