The purposes of this article were to identify the relationships among mothers' parenting stress, mindfulness and
children's internalizing and externalizing problems by correlation analysis and to examine whether mothers'
mindfulness accounts for variance in children's behavior problems after controlling for the influence of parenting
stress by hierarchical multiple regression analysis. In addition, the present study also investigates the relative
contributions of four facets of mindfulness on both parenting stress and children's behavior problems by
simultaneous regression analysis. Ninety one mothers whose children are in counseling completed measures of the
Parenting Stress Index, Mindfulness and CBCL(internalizing and externalizing problems). The correlation analysis
revealed that parenting stress was positively associated with children's behavior problems and mindfulness was
negatively associated with both parenting stress and children's internalizing and externalizing problems. Mindfulness
predicted significant variance in children's internalizing and externalizing problems after controlling for parenting
stress. Only de-centered attention of mindfulness four facets significantly contributed to children's internalizing and
externalizing problems in a negative direction. Finally, the implications and suggestions were discussed.
