We study whether an e-messaging program rooted on behavioral economics insights and administered on top of a parenting workshop helps improve parental investment and commitment. Treated families received messages thrice a week for 24 weeks. The messages were designed to help parents reorient their attention towards positive parenting goals, simplify parental tasks, and reinforce positive identities. Using an RCT on 24 early childhood centers in Uruguay, we find incremental effects over the workshop on the frequency of parental involvement and parenting quality. Effects range around 0.3 standard deviations and are larger for families experiencing more negative shocks and lower negative identity at baseline, suggesting the program triggered the right channels.
