Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) causes impairments in child development. Parents of children with this diagnosis may present stress, problems in managing rules and limits, compromising parenting style, besides perceiving family support as low. The objectives of the study were to characterize the stress, parenting style and perception of family support in parents of children with ADHD, establishing relationships between these variables. For this, 42 parents (fathers and mothers) responded to Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults (LSSI), the Inventory of Parenting Styles (IPS) and the Family Support Perception Inventory (FSPI). The results show that the mothers presented more stress than the fathers; there was also an association of mothers' stress with negative parenting practices and low perception of family support. Another finding was that the higher the child's age, the worse the parenting style presented by the family. New research should support this data.
