ATTENTION PARENTS!!! :)

The Child Development Research Unit is currently looking for parents of infants to participate in a fun and exciting research project! This project involves parents of infants who have not yet started crawling, but are able to sit up on their own.

We are trying to do something that has not been done before but is very important, and that is to study how parenting practices change as children go from hardly being able to move to being able to walk and run.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please follow the link to our website, send us a message on Facebook, or give us a call at (519)- 767 – 5033 for a direct and prompt response from one of our Research Assistants!

Your participation would make a huge difference and would really help us gain a better understanding of parenting practices that promote children’s health and well-being.

Attention parents!!

The Child Development Research Unit is currently looking for parents of infants to participate in a fun and exciting research project! This project involves parents of infants who have not yet started crawling, but are able to sit up on their own.

We are trying to do something that has not been done before but is very important, and that is to study how parenting practices change over about a 6 month period as children go from hardly being able to move around to being able to walk and run. However, we would not be able to do this without the help from parents within our community. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, please follow the link to our website, send us a message on Facebook, or give us a call at (519)- 767 – 5033 for a direct and prompt response from one of our Research Assistants!
