Single mother children`s stressors, problem-solving focused coping, life satisfaction, and depression were higher than the median. (2) Children`s life satisfaction was influenced by stress perceptions, problem-solving focused coping, and family strength. Children`s depression was influenced by stress perceptions, emotion-focused coping, family strength, and problem-solving focused coping.
