“…Recent empirical studies support the beneficial role of MP for parents, parent-child communication, and children. These benefits include higher levels of dispositional mindfulness in children (Moreira & Canavarro, 2018b) and parents (Ahemaitijiang et al, 2021;Kil et al, 2021;Orue et al, 2020;Shorey & Ng, 2021); less internalizing, externalizing, and attention problems in children (Emerson et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2021); positive parenting styles (McCaffrey et al, 2017;Moreira & Canavarro, 2017); reduced parental stress (Anand et al, 2021;Moreira & Canavarro, 2018a); and better child-parent relationships and communication (Coatsworth et al, 2018;Lippold et al, 2021;Shorey & Ng, 2021). Moreover, several intervention studies have documented an increase in MP following participation in an MP program, and they indicated that these changes in MP accounted for the reductions in child psychopathology, decreased emotional reactivity in parenting, and less parenting stress following the MP intervention (Chaplin et al, 2021;Emerson et al, 2021;Meppelink et al, 2016).…”
