🚨Is your child turning 30-months-old? Then join our study!

🧠At the Bristol University Baby Lab (BUBL), we are researching how children develop a group of cognitive skills, known as executive functions, in the early years of life. We use a variety of fun games to measure these skills.

👶You will be invited to the Baby Lab for 2 visits. You will receive a £10 Amazon voucher per visit, and your child will receive a small gift to thank you for taking part.

📝You can register your interest here: https://chdredcaplive.bris.ac.uk/redcap/surveys/?s=RDCT34EH8CLHF9JM, or you can email us at [email protected] if you would like to know more about the study.

✋Please share this with other parents who may be interested in taking part!

We are thrilled to share that we have officially tested our last 24-month-old participant! 🥳

This is an incredible milestone for the LEAF study, as we will now only be testing participants at our last age point of 30 months. A huge thank you to all the families who have made this possible - we are incredibly grateful for your time, commitment, and enthusiasm. Thank you for being such an important part of our research, and we are incredibly excited to see all our upcoming BUBL graduates as we head towards the final stage of the project! 👶😄❤

To our LEAF study families,

As we approach the Christmas season, we wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for being part of the LEAF study. It is your commitment and enthusiasm which has played an essential role in helping us carry out our research. So from everyone here at the Baby Lab, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season! We hope this festive period brings joy, rest, and plenty of memorable moments with your little ones. 🎄❄️⛄💞

We also wanted to take this time to thank the wonderful young scientists who recently helped us carry out a teaching demonstration at the University of Bristol - this was an incredibly fun experience, and our students absolutely loved it!

And as some of you know, we are now entering the final stages of the study and we are saying goodbye to our wonderful young scientists. It has been a privilege watching them grow, and we are incredibly grateful for the time you’ve taken to attend your sessions at 10, 16, 24, and 30 months. Your dedication truly means a lot to us.

Thank you once again for your continued support and we look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!

Warmest wishes,
The Baby Lab Team
