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

Summary

This study tests a program called Tuning in to Kids® that teaches parents how to respond supportively to their children's emotions. About 152 parents of children aged 3-6 in Portugal will either take the program or be placed on a waitlist. Researchers will measure changes in parents' beliefs and reactions to emotions, as well as children's behavior, to see if the program helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Tuning in to Kids® (a behavioral parenting program)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide an effective, low-cost program to help parents support their children's emotional development and reduce mental health risks.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage trial in one region of Portugal, so results may not apply broadly. The program is behavioral, so effects may vary and long-term benefits are uncertain.
