Can an online group help parents respond differently to preschoolers’ emotions?
The trial evaluates whether parents can learn less dismissive, more responsive approaches to children’s emotions through an interactive online group program.
Who was studied?
141 parents in Switzerland; online Tuning in to Kids versus waitlist
Age / stage: Children aged 3–6 years
Read with three questions
- What did the six-week program teach and what was the comparison condition?
- Which parenting and child outcomes changed through six-month follow-up?
- How does a waitlist comparison differ from another active parenting program?
Keep the limits in view
Outcomes relied on parent questionnaires in a specific Swiss sample. A waitlist comparison, pandemic-era delivery and limited follow-up restrict conclusions about mechanisms and broad applicability.
