One asks whether a short course and online study journey are practical. The other asks how to measure what helps and hinders using parenting skills at home.
A planned four-week feasibility study for parents of children aged 6–12. The comparison is access now or access after the main follow-up, assigned at random.
The first goals are participation, completion, acceptability and data quality. Changes in parenting measures would be exploratory.
A proposed measurement-development study about what makes it easier or harder to use skills learned in a self-guided programme. Early work would examine the questions with parents and researchers before larger testing.
Existing diaries and scales will be compared. No claim is made that the new instrument is validated or better than existing tools.

Participation in both projects will be managed in the protocols to avoid burden and keep the measurements interpretable.
Alexander Kuznetsov, 5 Steps Academy, Singapore, is the project author and developer. He is also the creator of DoctorPapa and the school's director. These roles will be disclosed in study documents. Independent ethics review and review of course and measurement methods are pending.
