Summary
This study tested a web app called SIBTime designed for families who have a child with special health or developmental needs and a typically developing sibling aged 3 to 6. The app aims to build parents' skills and create family routines that support the young sibling's social-emotional health. Thirty-nine parent-child pairs used the app for 8 weeks, and researchers measured changes in parent-child relationships, parental stress, and parenting confidence.
