Summary

This study tests a brief, virtual therapy for parents of preschool children (ages 2.5 to 4.5 years) who often use screens like tablets or phones to calm or distract their child. The goal is to reduce this 'regulatory screen use' and help children learn to manage their own emotions. About 30 families will take part in three online group sessions and answer surveys before, after, and one month later.
