However, many face barriers to accessing consistent, evidence-based support. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies offer a promising way to deliver flexible, low-burden guidance for parents on best practices and strategies to support their children's self-regulation. However, designing them is non-trivial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This paper introduces\n                      <jats:italic>ParentCoach<\/jats:italic>\n                      , a mobile application designed to support parents of children with ADHD through brief daily lessons, reflection prompts, and skill-building activities.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>ParentCoach<\/jats:italic>\n                      was developed in two phases: (1) secondary analysis of qualitative data from over 30 families using mHealth tools to support self-regulation, and (2) co-design with ADHD experts to refine and validate the curriculum.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings identify key design needs for digital parenting tools: micro-interactions, flexible content formats, scaffolding for executive function, and emotional reflection.
