🌟We are looking for children turning 4 years old to participate in our study 🚲🎉 If your child was born in England just after lockdowns ended (between July 19th and October 19th 2021) you could take part and get a free Amazon Fire Tablet! 🖱️Sign up here: cityunilondon.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
Families needed for a study about children’s talking and thinking. Are talking and thinking skills different in children who were born after Covid lockdowns? Was your child born in England between July 19th 2021 and October 19th 2021? If they were, you could take part in our study. Your child would play fun talking and thinking games with a researcher over Zoom. We would see your child three times for about 45 minutes each time.
