The numbers in two tables were found to be not exactly aligned with the final dataset. The overall results and conclusions remained
unaffected with the updated numbers. The concerned tables and related in-text descriptions were updated accordingly.

Among gender, age of children, father’s age, mother’s age, number of siblings, and family incomes (see Table 2), only three factors

were found to be mildly to moderately correlated with APSI, which were father’s age (r = -.32, p < .01), mother’s age (r = -.40, p <
.01), and family income (r = -.27, p < .01). Further analysis on the sub-scale of APSI revealed similar findings, except the co-morbid
physical symptoms subscale, which was correlated with children’s age (r = -.21, p < .01) as well as number of siblings (r = -.22, p <
.05), but not with family income (r = -.18, p > .05).
3rd paragraph:
Meanwhile, further analysis of the correlations between APSI and the subscales of ATEC revealed that parenting distress was related
to communication (r = .32, p < .01), sociability (r = .45, p < .01), sensory/cognitive difficulties (r = .28, p < .01) and behavioural
problems (r = .52, p < .01) (Table 4).
