Our main aim is to describe the structure of the intervention protocol “Con i Genitori” and to discuss the findings from a semi-structured telephone interview conducted upon completion of the intervention. The interview aimed to explore participants’ experiences, specifically re-garding their perceptions of the strengths and limitations of the CiG program, including its online delivery. The intervention is targeted at parents of typically developed children aged 0 to 6 years and consists of four group sessions. These sessions are grounded in theoretical princi-ples derived from internationally recognized, well known, evidence-based models focusing on early childhood parenting. The results suggest that the “Con i Genitori” program holds prom-ise as a valuable tool for enhancing the parent-child relationship and promoting parental sensi-tivity during early childhood. Furthermore, online delivery of such interventions may represent a crucial strategy for broadening access to evidence-based prevention programs, improving user engagement, and supporting parenting from the earliest stages of child development.
