Parents wanted to participate in baby communication study - especially Maori, Pacific and Asian, and all Dads!
Are you interested in helping researchers learn more about how babies communicate?
Kirsten Sharman, Principal Advisor in the Office of the Children's Commissioner, is looking for 30 Wellington-based parents and caregivers of 9-12 month old babies to participate in the pilot stage of her PhD research.
Kirsten has developed an on-line survey to investigate how communication develops. The survey is for parents of 9-12-month-olds. It asks questions about parents’ and caregivers’ attitudes to communication and their language behaviours, and about baby’s communication.
Kirsten will come to your house (or another convenient location) to sit with you while you take the survey on-line, then talk with you afterwards how you felt it went. This will take about 20 minutes. Your answers will help Kirsten ensure the survey is suitable to be distributed to 500+ parents in 2019. You will also go into a prize draw.
Kirsten is wanting to hear from all kinds of parents and caregivers who care for babies, as long as they can speak English, live in the Wellington region and their baby is aged between nine and twelve months of age.
If you have any questions, or you would like to volunteer to participate in the study, please contact Kirsten on 0275730762, or K.Sharman@auckland.ac.nz

How is this possible?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
