Toddlers Up
The Toddlers Up study aims to examine relations between cognitive and social influences on younger children's development. Participating families were recruited through mother–toddler groups in low-income neighbourhoods and support groups for mothers in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, and Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. All mothers of children within the study have a toddler between 24 and 36 months of age and speak English as a first language. Of the 192 families contacted, 140 (73%) consented to participate in the study. Participants had four study time-points (ages 2, 3, 4, and 6).
