description The main caregivers and each child’s first teachers are represented by parents, which greatly influence their development, educational path, and behaviour. Parental competence represents a fundamental coordination in raising and educating children. This research investigates the impact of parental self-efficacy, parental competence, and on children's academic results and development. The present study is based on 609 participants who fulfill the role of parent. A psychometric analysis was made to measure the influence of these concepts on the children's level of education. Correlations were calculated, and the results indicate empirical evidence that the level of parental competence is correlated negatively with the level of parental stress (r = -.371, p<.01). Also, a low level of parental self-efficacy was associated with a higher level of parental stress (r =.05, p<.214) was found as well. In this study, the importance of the influence of parental stress was highlighted, impacting the psychological health of parents and children. Reducing the negative effects of stress can be achieved by using some coping strategies, such as requesting social support, which can lead to the selection of appropriate strategies for the harmonious development of the child and ensuring a quality education.
