Mother-Daughter Activities

This is an exciting new project about ways that mothers and their 10- to 13-year-old daughters communicate! Participation is easy and fun, and we have designed these activities to foster connection and communication between moms and their daughters. Through survey questions at the beginning and end of the study and at-home activities with moms and their daughters, we hope to learn more about ways that mother-daughter communication about certain topics such as self-perception work.

Parent-Child Storybook Study

The Parent-Child Storybook Study is an exciting ongoing research project exploring how parents discuss bodies with their 4- to 9-year-old children during a storybook reading session. By analyzing survey data and parent-child conversations, we aim to gain insight into family discussions about body-related topics in a naturalistic setting. We are currently seeking parents with children 4 to 9 years old to participate in this study!
