What this Trial Is About
This study will evaluate the effects of two different approaches to support healthy family mealtime, sleep, and screentime routines: A parent leader-guided online program that promotes parent and child self-regulation as a means to improve healthy family routines versus an asynchronous program that provides parents information about healthy family routines. Families will be randomly assigned to either of these programs and changes in parent and child outcomes will be evaluated.
