Summary

This study tests an online program called Lupis for parents of 1st and 2nd graders. The program uses stories and video chats to teach parents how to help their children develop self-regulation skills, like goal-setting and managing emotions. Researchers will measure changes in parental involvement and children's self-regulation. The goal is to see if this approach can support children's academic success and well-being.
