Key Points

  • Mindful parenting is associated with improved youth adjustment, including emotional and behavioral outcomes.
  • In 23 studies, fewer emotional problems and in 20 studies, reduced behavioral issues were reported.
  • Indirect pathways often mediated mindful parenting's impact on youth adjustment through parent and child characteristics.
  • Future research should explore models linking mindful parenting with youth adjustment across diverse parenting aspects.
