Summary

Problematic Internet Use (PIU) and Unsafe Internet Use (UIU) are the two main potential negative consequences of children's online activities. Parents have a vital role in reducing these consequences and shaping a safe digital environment. Parental Vigilant Care (PVC) is a systematic approach that integrates active and restrictive mediation practices, in which parents regulate their involvement according to the alarm signs the parents detect.

This study is a randomized controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy of the PVC parent training. Families were randomly assigned to either (1) PVC group (2) Technological Parental Monitoring group (3) combining both group parental training and installation of filtering devices (PVC + TPM) or (4) Control group.
