Babies, Zoomers and Boomers - August 19, 2020 - 1 PM ET

During this era of social distancing, how do grandparents and children use video chat to keep in touch and build new relationships? How does your new grandbaby respond when you play peek-a-boo over FaceTime? Will an infant recognize you from session to session?

Babies, Zoomers and Boomers is a new study about how young children and grandparents build relationships over video during COVID-19. Please consider participating in the study by completing a brief online survey here. Participants must be residents of the U.S. or Canada and have a grandchild under age 5. After completing the survey, you can choose to enter your email for a chance to win a $50 e-gift card (with a 1 in 10 chance of winning).

On August 19th at 1pm ET, Dr. Rachel Barr of Georgetown University will host a webinar about the study to share background on the science of early childhood development, early childhood media usage, and relationship-building over video chat. In addition to tips and strategies about how to engage virtually with grandchildren during the pandemic, Dr. Barr will answer questions about the study and share other opportunities to get involved with this timely research.

To learn more about the study, check out the lab’s website here. Please plan to join us on the 19th!
