First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a series of online parenting seminars (called Selected Child Triple P) can help parents of children ages 2-12 learn new strategies to support good behavior and manage misbehavior. 123 parents in Texas are split into three groups: those who attend seminars with group discussion, those who attend without discussion, and a waitlist group. Researchers measure parent satisfaction, changes in parenting practices, and child emotional and behavioral problems through surveys.

- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study focused on satisfaction and short-term changes, not long-term outcomes. The results may not apply to all families or settings.
