Digital Game for Parent-Child Relationship
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new digital game designed to strengthen the bond between parents and children. The goal is to determine if playing the game can help families connect better, improve relationships, and boost parents' confidence in their parenting skills. Participants will be divided into two groups: one will play the Relationship Enhancement Digital Game, while the other receives information about play-based activities. Families with a parent and child who want to improve their relationship and enjoy playful activities together might be a good fit for this trial. As an unphased trial, this study offers families a unique opportunity to explore innovative ways to enhance their relationships through playful interaction.
Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on evaluating a digital game for parent-child interactions, so it's unlikely that medication changes are required.
What prior data suggests that this digital game is safe for parent-child interactions?
Research has shown that digital games designed to improve parent-child relationships are generally safe. This trial uses a digital game prototype, which involves no medications or physical procedures, so it has no known physical side effects like those associated with drugs or medical treatments.
The game encourages fun interactions, and its safety relies on following normal screen-time guidelines and ensuring the content is suitable for children. Most studies on digital games for building relationships highlight benefits such as improved connections and increased confidence, without noting negative effects.
Since this is not a medical treatment, usual safety concerns are minimal. Participants should ensure the game is used within healthy screen-time limits and that children are supervised while playing.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Relationship Enhancement Digital Game because it offers a fresh approach to strengthening parent-child bonds. Unlike traditional methods that might involve counseling sessions or workshops, this treatment uses an interactive digital game format, making it more engaging and accessible for families. The game specifically targets relationship enhancement through play, which can be a more natural and enjoyable way for parents and children to connect. This innovative approach could lead to improved emotional connections and communication between parents and children, offering a potentially more effective and enjoyable alternative to standard interventions.
What evidence suggests that this digital game is effective for enhancing parent-child relationships?
Research shows that digital games can improve the bond between parents and children. Studies have found that these games encourage fun interactions, boosting parents' confidence and enhancing their parenting skills. In this trial, participants in the Caregiver Child Digital Intervention Group will engage with a Relationship Enhancement Digital Game designed to strengthen relationships and improve interactions. Although direct evidence for this specific game is limited, its method has shown promise in similar situations.12367
