Abstract

This study examines the role of mindful parenting in supporting the emotional development of early childhood. Emotional regulation problems among young children, such as tantrums and behavioral difficulties, are often associated with less responsive parenting practices. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how parenting mindfulness contributes to children's emotional development and to identify the mechanisms underlying this relationship. This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design involving 245 parents of children aged 3–6 years. Data were collected using standardized instruments, including the Interpersonal Mindfulness in Parenting Scale (IM-P), Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC), and Parent–Child Relationship Scale (PCRS). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that mindful parenting has a significant positive effect on children's emotional development. Parents with higher levels of mindfulness tend to demonstrate greater emotional awareness, non-reactivity, and responsiveness, which foster a supportive emotional environment for children. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the parent–child relationship and parental emotion regulation significantly mediate this relationship. Children of mindful parents show better emotional regulation, with an improvement of approximately 18% compared to those with lower levels of mindful parenting. In conclusion, mindful parenting plays a crucial role in enhancing early childhood emotional development through improved parental emotional regulation and stronger parent–child relationships. This study highlights the importance of integrating mindful parenting practices into parenting education and early childhood programs.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between childhood trauma and insecurity in adulthood, focusing on the psychological mechanisms that underlie this association. The primary objective is to identify how early adverse experiences contribute to adult insecurity and to analyze the mediating role of attachment styles as well as the moderating effects of resilience and social support. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 247 participants aged 18–35 years. Data were collected using standardized instruments, including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR-R), and validated measures of resilience and perceived social support. Statistical analyses were conducted using correlation, regression, mediation, and moderation techniques. The results indicate that childhood trauma significantly predicts adult insecurity, with attachment insecurity serving as a key mediating factor. Individuals with higher trauma exposure tend to develop maladaptive attachment patterns, which in turn increase vulnerability to insecurity in adulthood. Furthermore, resilience and social support were found to significantly reduce the strength of this relationship, highlighting their protective role. These findings emphasize that the long-term impact of childhood trauma is not only direct but also operates through complex psychological pathways. The study underscores the importance of early intervention, attachment-based approaches, and strengthening protective factors to reduce insecurity in adulthood.
