Description
Stefanie Ewald and co-authors pilot a digital parenting program, Daily Growth, that sends help at the moment parents need it. Parenting programs can cut child mental health problems, but few parents join or stick with them. This program sends short videos matched to a recent hard moment at home.
Australian parents of toddlers were randomized to the program or to a parenting website for two weeks, with brief surveys twice a day. Most parents finished the follow-up survey and kept up with the daily check-ins. Despite technical glitches, most said they would recommend the program, use its skills, and found it easy to use. The authors judge the prototype feasible and ready for a larger trial.
