What this Trial Is About
The goal of this trial is to find out whether adding identity-building and self-regulation training to basic healthy-living education helps families with inactive children (ages 6-12) become more cohesive and physically active. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the identity + self-regulation + education program improve family cohesion more than (a) self-regulation + education or (b) education alone? Researchers will compare three groups-identity+self-regulation+education (ID), self-regulation+education (SR), and education-only (ED)-to see which produces the greatest improvements. Participants will: 1. attend three online workshops at baseline plus two booster sessions at 6-week and 3-month with a project coordinator; 2. complete online questionnaires at baseline, 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month; 3. take part in an exit interview at 6 months.
