About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an online emotion regulation and parenting program for parents of children aged 2-6 years. The program is designed to help parents better manage their emotions and respond more adaptively to their children's emotional and behavioral needs. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group. The study will examine whether the intervention reduces parents' emotion regulation difficulties, improves their acceptance of children's negative emotions and their perceived ability to respond adaptively, and improves children's socio-emotional and behavioral outcomes.
