NCT ID NCT07477353
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a 6-week mindfulness program for children aged 3-6 to see if it reduces screen time, improves sleep, lowers fear, and strengthens parent-child bonds. Half of the 50 children will get the training; the other half will not. Researchers will measure mindfulness, media use, and sleep quality before and after.
