First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two parent training programs for 3-5 year olds with sleep problems and early signs of ADHD. One program focuses on behavior, the other adds sleep strategies. Researchers want to see if the sleep-focused approach is more helpful and practical for families in pediatric clinics.
