Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding an artificial intelligence (AI) application called to standard Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) helps families with children who have disruptive behavior problems. It will also help researchers understand if the app is easy to use and helpful for parents. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Is it feasible and acceptable for parents to use the AI app alongside their therapy sessions? The secondary questions it aims to answer are: * Does the app help reduce children's disruptive behaviors and irritability more than therapy alone? * Does using the app help lower stress, anxiety, and depression levels for the parents? Researchers will compare: 1. Standard BPT: Parents receive 8 weekly group training sessions (online). 2. BPT plus ParenteAI: Parents receive the same 8 weekly sessions plus 24/7 access to an AI virtual assistant for personalized support. Participants will: * Attend 8 weekly group training sessions. * Complete surveys about their child's behavior and their own well-being at baseline, after group training sessions 4 and 8, and 3 and 6 months after finalizing the group training. * If in the experimental group, use the ParenteAI app to get real-time coaching and support for managing their child's behavior at home. * Provide feedback on their experience and satisfaction with the program.
