Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test whether the online Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline (VIPP-SD) can reduce parental burnout and improve parenting practices, in mothers of young children in Chile. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the online VIPP-SD increase maternal sensitivity and the use of consistent but gentle limit setting? * Does it reduce parental burnout? * Does it improve parental stress and child attachment security and reduce child conduct problems? Researchers will compare families who receive the online VIPP-SD to families in a waitlist control group with dummy treatment to see if VIPP-SD has benefits for parents and children. Participants will be mothers of children aged 11-16 months at the start of the study who report elevated levels of parental burnout. Mothers in the intervention group will: * Take part in 12 weekly online sessions with a trained intervener * Receive video-feedback on their own interactions with their child * Learn strategies to respond sensitively to their child's needs and to use positive discipline The study will also measure potential moderators such as maternal mental health, child temperament, and family sociodemographic factors.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Video Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting and sensitive discipline (VIPP-SD)	The intervention is delivered through a videoconference platform that allows 1) to record the parent-child tasks and 2) to simultaneously share the previously recorded parent- child interaction and provide feedback. The intervener provides directions in the recording sessions that ensure clearly capturing parent and child facial expressions during the task. Moreover, considering the delivery format, it is essential that both parents and interveners have access to good-quality internet and an electronic device (mobile phone, computer, tablet) with camera. To prevent fatigue arising from the delivery format, it was decided to shorten the sessions, with 30-minute sessions for recording the parent-child task and 40-60-minute sessions for video reviewing and feedback. Thus, Online-VIPP has 12 sessions with alternating recording sessions and video feedback sessions.
