Abstract The main purpose of the research was to know the relation between parental stress and the attitudes of single mothers towards relationship with children. The research was quantitative, correlational, non-experimental, cross-sectional and with a sample of 104 single mothers from Lima, Peru. The information was collected with the Parenting Stress Index and with the Parent-child relationship inventory, both questionnaires adapted to the Peruvian context. The results indicate that the correlation between parental stress and the attitudes of single mothers towards relationship with children is negative (-.65), this would indicate that the greater the stress of single mothers, they show less support for their children, low satisfaction, commitment, communication and autonomy, they don't set limits and have low social desirability. It was observed that women with higher education, with more than 40 years and with external support in raising have less stress. Furthermore, mothers with higher education and external support have more positive attitudes towards parenting.
