Summary
This study tests an online program called I-InTERACT-North that helps parents of children aged 3-9 with congenital heart disease improve their parenting skills and manage child behavior. About 382 families from SickKids in Ontario will take part. The goal is to see if the program reduces stress and boosts positive parenting, with no drugs or medical procedures involved.
