Parent Child Talk Study

Are you the parent or guardian of a 3-4 year old child?

Researchers at the University of Birmingham need your help to explore parent-child talk in different settings!

Each video call will last approximately 1 hour, with regular comfort breaks.

As a thank you for your participation, we will provide every family with a £20 voucher upon completion of all three video calls.

We're looking for children aged between 3 and 4.5 years old (36-54 months).

To ensure safety, and adhere to social distancing, sessions will be conducted using the video call platform Zoom.

In each of the three sessions, you and your child will be asked to:

📖 Read together (5 minutes)
🖍️ Draw together (5 minutes)
🍎 Snack together (5 minutes)

Your child will then take part in a few brief (very fun) activities.

🗓️ These calls will take place over a six-week period, so please keep that in mind when booking your first session.

💻 Access to a laptop, computer or tablet for the duration of the call
🌐 A stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection

📝 Pencil and paper
🥪 A tasty snack

We hope that by studying many parents and their children, we can gain a greater understanding of the special nature of parent and child conversations.
You will receive a small 'thank you' gift for your time with us (£20 voucher upon completion of all three video calls).
