Summary
This pilot study tests a 10-week digital program called KnowHow for parents of children aged 3-5. The program includes a mobile app, virtual group discussions, and mailed materials covering mindful parenting, healthy eating, and physical activity. Researchers want to see if the program is easy to use and acceptable to families, not whether it changes health outcomes. About 60 families will participate.
