Infant and Child Studies group is a group of researchers interested in better understanding child cognition: so how kids learn! All our studies are designed as games for children to play while we observe how they respond to various toys, videos or sounds. The activities are fun for the kids, and help us to understand concepts like how children learn new words, when children can begin to understand math, or what learning strategies kids use to understand new concepts. We deliver studies in person, as well as online and in take home formats.
University of Guelph. part of the Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab, where we research ways to support families of children experiencing mental health challenges.
The Child Emotion and Mental Health Lab at the University of Guelph is currently running an Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) caregiver group (so children don't attend the group itself).
This group is aimed at supporting caregivers with children aged 7 to 15 who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or behavioural difficulties, with our next group starting at the beginning of March. Fees for therapy are on sliding scale starting at $0 depending on financial need.
If interested in learning more, please fill out this brief, secure survey with your name, email, and phone number, and we will be in touch!

Bring On The Birthday Celebrations
Birthday celebrations are incredibly important! Not only do they mark the date of when someone arrived on the planet, they also give you a reason to gather with family and friends. Finding time in everyone's busy schedule can be challenging but its always worthwhile. The earlier you start arranging the celebration the easier it is to coordinate schedules. My birthday is next month but I already have my birthday party plans in order!
Make Your Next Birthday Party Count With These Suggestions
According to recent Enbridge survey data, 91% of Canadians think it’s important to celebrate birthdays of family and friends. They also found 82% of people felt more special when someone put energy into their birthday.
Although birthday parties can take a lot of time and energy they are worth the effort! Remember the more prepared you are for the birthday celebration, the smoother the day will go, which means a lot more fun for everyone! Here are a few birthday party planning tips

Will it be at your home, a local restaurant, or a fun place to celebrate
If outside of your home be sure to contact the venue and make reservations before it gets booked up

Invite guests to dress according to the theme
