The perception of lack of parenting ability (r = 0.214) was positively correlated with the parenting stress at the significance level of .01. The lack of emotional support (r = 0. 137) and evaluation support (r = 0.135) was positively correlated with the parenting stress at the significance level of .05. However, the feeling of daily chore burdens, emotional tantrums in newborn babies, the lack of information and news support, and the lack of material support were not significantly correlated with parenting of adolescent mothers receiving support grants for raising newborn babies in Phatthalung Province. 3) Three factors affecting parenting stress of adolescent mothers at the significance level of. 001 were the feeling of financial burdens, the feeling of health problems, and the feeling of lack of self-esteem.
