For SDQ Internalizing, this group comprises mothers of children aged 2–18 years (as SDQ data not available for infants under 2 years);

Cronbach's alpha is reported separately for the different age categories of SDQ, that is, 0.70 (2–4 years), 0.71 (5–10 years), and 0.87 (11–17 years). No alpha could be calculated for the SDQ (18 years) as there was only 1 mother of a child aged 18 years;

0 = females and 1 = males;

0 = no previous mental health diagnosis and 1 = previous mental health diagnosis;

0 = no history of mindfulness practice and 1 = some history of mindfulness practice;

0 = <1 year history of mindfulness practice and 1 = one or more years history of mindfulness practice;

0 = currently practicing less than monthly and 1 = currently practicing monthly or more; SDQ Internalizing is the Internalizing scale of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire; DASS Stress is the Stress scale of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales; PABUA Overprotection is the Overprotection scale of the Parental Attitudes, Beliefs, and Understanding of Anxiety scale; PABUA Distress is the Distress scale of the Parental Attitudes, Beliefs, and Understanding of Anxiety scale; PAAQ Total is the Total scale from the Parental Acceptance and Action Questionnaire; PAS Behavior is the Behavior scale of the Parental Accommodation Scale; LFA is the Listening with Full Attention scale of the Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting questionnaire (IMP); CC is the Compassion for the Child scale of the IMP; NJAPF is the Non-judgmental Acceptance of Parental Functioning scale of the IMP; EAC is the Emotional Awareness of the Child scale of the IMP; ENRP is the Emotional Non-reactivity in Parenting scale of the IMP; EAS is the Emotional Awareness of the Self scale of the IMP;
