What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial tests an online micro-learning program that combines emotion-regulation skills with parenting strategies for parents of children aged 2-6. Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention or a control group to compare outcomes. The study will look at whether the program reduces parents' difficulties with emotion regulation, increases acceptance of children's negative emotions, and improves parents' ability to respond adaptively, as well as whether children's socio-emotional and behavioral outcomes improve. Assessments occur at baseline and during the study period to compare groups. The intervention is delivered online and targets Chinese-speaking parents, led by The University of Hong Kong.
