Caregivers of Preschool Age Sensitive Children: Participate in Research
I love supporting sensitivity research so please share this with parents of preschool-age sensitive children. Just takes about 20 minutes and can help us understand sensitive children.
Bethany Russell is seeking participants for a study that will develop an instrument to identify sensitivity in children ages 3-5 years old.
Participation involves completing a demographic questionnaire and questions pertaining to your child’s sensitivity and then completing a follow-up survey on sensitivity two-weeks later.
Participation will take just 20-25 minutes
All answers will be confidential
Results of this study will help increase understanding of child sensitivity, strengthen parent/child relationships, and decrease misdiagnosing.
If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about the study, I would love the opportunity to discuss the details with you. Please email me at Bethany.Russell@ucf.edu, and/or follow the survey link below to get started!
