Summary

This pilot study tests a brief, virtual therapy for caregivers of children aged 30-54 months. The goal is to reduce using screens to calm or distract children, which may hinder their ability to manage emotions. Over three 60-minute group sessions, caregivers learn strategies like scheduling screen time and teaching emotion regulation. The study will measure changes in screen use and child self-regulation before, after, and one month later.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Brief-RSU behavioral intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simple, short-term program to help parents rely less on screens for managing their child's emotions, potentially improving children's self-regulation.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is brief and may not produce lasting changes.
