Description

Emma Claesdotter-Knutsson and co-authors test a digital parent plan for heavy gaming and screen use in a 2026 study. The plan runs in child mental health care and works through parents in three online group meets over five weeks. Parents of just over twenty children took part in this first test.

Child screen time per week fell by a large amount after the plan, and parent stress fell too. Family function as a whole and parent joy did not shift in a clear way. The authors stress the test had no control group, so a larger fair trial must check the gains.
