Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the online modality of the Make the Connection (MTC) program in a community-based sample of parents not at-risk for parenting difficulties. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the MTC online program result in improvements in parent-child bond, parent self-efficacy, parental stress, and parental depression among parents who are not at-risk for parent-child relationship difficulties?
* What are some of the barriers, facilitators, perceived benefits and risks to participating in the MTC online program from the perspective of parents?

Participants will be asked to complete a pre-intervention questionnaire, will be invited to complete the 8-week MTC online program consisting of a weekly 15-minute module, and will lastly be asked to complete a post-intervention questionnaire.

The overarching goal of the program is to enhance parental attitudes and cognitions towards their infants, which have been shown to be associated with sensitive parenting behaviour, and in turn, secure child attachment. Ultimately, by improving parenting skills and attitudes, the program seeks to support secure infant attachment.
