Summary
This study tested a virtual, group-based parenting program called 'Tuning in to Kids' for parents of children aged 3 to 6 with congenital heart disease. The goal was to see if the program was easy to use and helpful for parents. Thirty-nine parents took part in online surveys, weekly sessions, and interviews. The focus was on whether parents found the program acceptable and whether it improved their child's emotional and behavioral wellbeing.
