ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how digital parenting education can help mothers understand social media addiction and their children's attitudes toward technology. The goal is to see if teaching mothers about these topics can make a difference in how they and their children use digital devices. The trial involves mothers with healthy preschool children aged 3 to 6 years old, who are registered at a specific family health center. To participate, mothers need to have at least a primary school education, use digital devices like smartphones or tablets, and have social media accounts.

Participants in the trial will be split into two groups: one will receive eight short training sessions focused on safe technology use and parenting, while the other group will not receive this training. The training is based on guidelines from various health and family organizations and will help mothers learn how to protect their children from digital risks. This study is currently recruiting participants, and those involved can expect to gain valuable insights into managing technology use in their families.
