AI coach for parents: could an app tame tantrums?

NCT ID NCT07469215

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding an AI app to standard behavioral parent training helps families with children aged 5-12 who have disruptive behaviors like irritability or ADHD. Forty parents will either attend 8 weekly online training sessions alone or with 24/7 access to an AI virtual assistant for real-time coaching. Researchers will measure if the app is easy to use and whether it reduces child behavior problems and parental stress.
