First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested an online, self-guided program called eParenting CARE for parents of children aged 8-13. The program teaches emotion regulation and supportive parenting strategies over five weeks. Researchers enrolled 67 parents in Canada to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, and to measure early changes in parent and child emotional health. Results will guide future larger trials.
