Summary

This study tests whether a training program called CARE helps undergraduates interact more positively with children. Participants are randomly assigned to either CARE training or a control group that teaches general child development. Researchers measure changes in play skills and knowledge before and after training. The goal is to see if CARE improves adult-child relationships beyond basic education.

What this could lead to
If effective, this training could help adults build better relationships with children, potentially reducing behavior problems.
