Parenting support for preterm toddlers’ brain and self-control
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a responsive parenting program helps toddlers born early think, learn, and manage behavior more easily. It also checks whether families can complete toddler brain and behavior assessments (including brain scans).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child was born preterm (early) and is a toddler at the start of the study
- Mother was at least 18 years old when the child was born
- Family lives within the study area near Texas Medical Center (about within 1 hour drive)
- Your child can safely have an MRI (no known MRI safety issues)
- No major birth brain problems reported, such as severe bleeding in both sides of the brain or hydrocephalus
- No serious hearing/vision problems (blindness or deafness) and no severe cerebral palsy (gross motor level III or higher)

This study tests a play-based program that parents can do at home with their infants. It aims to support development in infants who may have a higher chance of conditions like autism, ADHD, or developmental delays, or who were born early.
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
This trial tests a parenting skills training program for mothers of preterm babies aged 6 to 12 months (corrected age). The program aims to help you feel more confident as a mother, provide more social support, and support your baby's development.
This trial tests a program that helps parents and healthcare professionals work together from the start to support babies with certain brain injuries that can lead to cerebral palsy. It may help improve your baby's development through early, coordinated care.
This study tests a program to help parents support their preterm baby's early thinking and learning skills. It may help your baby's brain development during this important time.
This trial tests a parenting program for caregivers of children born very preterm (before 32 weeks) who also have behavior problems. The program aims to help parents manage difficult behaviors and improve family well-being.
