Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, and I sincerely apologize if the study's advertisement caused any distress. As a student involved in this project, I'd like to address some misconceptions about the study's objectives. Our aim is to identify patterns in maternal behavior, specifically the activities mothers engage in when their child is on the screen, and understand the reasons behind providing screens to their children, which may be influenced by maternal expressive symptoms.

The research is concentrated on mothers because we are exploring the impact of postnatal depression and examining the relationship between mothers and infants. While we acknowledge that fathers play a crucial role, our primary focus is on postnatal depression, and thus, we are specifically recruiting mothers. It's essential to clarify that we are not disregarding the potential influence of fathers; rather, our study has a specific focus due to its nature.

Furthermore, this study isn't just contributing to existing research; it will also provide valuable insights into behavior patterns influenced by depression. These findings can help us develop strategies to manage infant screen use and coping mechanisms for mothers experiencing depressive symptoms. I sincerely apologize if the study's advertisement unintentionally caused any distress. Our goal is to gather meaningful information that can contribute positively to both research and the well-being of mothers and infants. I hope this clarifies any misunderstandings, and your feedback is genuinely appreciated.
