CDFS study seeks toddlers, parents

Researchers in child development and family studies are recruiting toddlers for a study on co-parenting and social development in toddlers.

The primary investigator is Jim Elicker, associate professor. Doctoral student researcher is Kyong-Ah Kwon.

The study seeks toddlers, ages 18  to 36 months who are enrolled in any type of child care, and their parents.

Both parents and a child will make a one-time visit of one hour or so to the research center at Fowler Memorial House. Participant families will receive a $20 gift card and a children's book for their involvement.

The toddlers' child care provider will also fill out a short survey and receive a $10 gift card.

For more information or to take part in the study, contact Kyong-Ah Kwon at kkwon@purdue.edu or 765-490-7478
