Toddlers Up
The Toddlers Up study investigated how family and sibling relationships influence children's cognitive and social development in a socially diverse sample of 143 families from Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Beginning in 2006, participating families with a toddler aged between 24 and 36 months were recruited through mother–toddler groups in low-income neighbourhoods and support groups for mothers in Cambridgeshire. The children have been followed up at ages 2, 3, 4, 6, and 10.
