Sumario:Background: Daily stress in preschool children is associated with mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. However, the assessment of this construct is challenging, as multiple informants are required. Method: The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the Preschool Daily Stress Scale to a parent version, as well as to obtain confirmatory analysis of the child version. Participants were 515 parents of preschoolers for the validation and reliability of the Daily Stress Scale in its parent version. For the confirmatory analysis of children’s version, 397 preschoolers participated. Results: The results showed that the Daily Stress Scale in its parent and children version has the same pattern of five stress factors: Fantasy and Fears, Conflict with peers, Conflict with siblings, Scholar Stress, and Parent Conflict. Conclusions: The Preschool Daily Stress Scale is valid and reliable and can be useful for both clinical and research purposes.
