Brief Summary

This study evaluates the feasibility and preliminary impacts of a new parent support program consisting of a series of educational videos, delivered via a popular texting platform. For this pilot project, the program content is focused on teaching parents strategies to better manage one of the commonly reported challenges children face, a transition to a non-preferred activity. Parents with children demonstrating inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive behavior and experiencing difficulties with daily transition routines are invited to participate in the study.
