ABSTRACT
Previous studies have shown that mindful parenting is associated with children's emotional development. The current study explored the association between mindful parenting and school-aged children's meta-mood, with children's mindfulness as a potential mediator. A total of 375 valid parent-child pairs were recruited from two primary schools in China. Parents' mindful parenting and children's meta-mood were measured at baseline. Five months later, children completed measures of mindfulness and meta-mood. The results indicated that mindful parenting directly and indirectly predicted school-aged children's meta-mood, with the latter mediated by children's mindfulness. This study contributes to the field of emotional development in school-aged children. The results of this study imply that intervention in mindful parenting may foster school-aged children's healthy emotional development through children's mindfulness.
