(PBI) is a 20 item that measure parenting behaviors in parents of early school-aged children. The PBI includes two subscales with high internal consistency: supportive/engaged (α =.83) and hostile/coercive (α =.81). The PBI has adequate test-retest reliability (r = .69-.74) in an ethnically diverse sample of mothers. To reduce the total number of items we include 10 items - 5 from each of the two subscales: Supportive/Engaged: items 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, and Hostile/Coercive: items 5, 9, 15, 17, 20. Score range is 0-25 for each subscale. High score is better for Supportive/Engaged, low score is better for Hostile/Coercive.

PSS is an 18 item measure of parenting stress that is rated on a five-point scale (Strongly disagree, Disagree, Undecided, Agree, Strongly agree). We use the revised Danish version with 16 items where the original items 2 and 11 are left out. The Danish version consists of two subscales: Parental Stress (9 items) and Lack of Parental Satisfaction (7 items). Responses are reversed for the lack of parental satisfaction items, and all responses for all items are dichotomized (0-1) before scoring. Total score range 0-9 (Parental Stress subscale) and 0-7 (Lack of Parental Stress subscale). A low score is better for both subscales.

GSE is a 10 item measure of optimistic self-beliefs to cope with a variety of difficult demands in life. To reduce the total number of items we include 3 items (8,9, and 10). Score range is 3-12, high score is better.

We use 3 items from the HBSC project to measure self-worth. The 3 items are inspired by Rosenbergs concept of self-esteem. Items are scored from 1 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree) and summed. High score is better.

We use 5 items (1,4,9,11,21) from the Child Routine Inventory (CDI - 39 item version). Item 1,3,4, and 5 are from the Daily Living Routines subscale and item 2 is from the Household Responsibilities subscale. Inspired by the CDI we developed 5 extra items on family routines around mealtimes and language. Items are scored from 0 (never) to 4 (always). High score is better.

Kidscreen-10 is a 10 item measure of child well-being (health-related quality of health). Items are scored from 1 (never) to 5 (always) except from items 1 and 9 (reverse). Items 1 and 2 explore the level of the child's/adolescent's physical activity, energy and fitness. Items 3 and 4 cover how much the child/adolescent experiences depressive moods and emotions and stressful feelings. Items 5 and 6 ask about the child's opportunities to structure and enjoy his/her social and leisure time and participation in social activities. Item 7 explores the quality of the interaction between child/adolescent and parent or carer and the child's/adolescent's feelings toward their parents/carers. Item 8 examines the nature of the child's/adolescent's relationships with other children/adolescents. Finally, items 9 and 10 explore the child's/adolescent's perception of his/ her cognitive capacity and satisfaction with school performance. Higher score is better
