So it\u2019s those kinds of, we\u2019re saying what are the influences on kids that are contextual coming from either their macro environment or their close environment of their relationships and how do those interact with individual developmental challenges of children to explain how that emotion and social regulation occurs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a multi-level study looking at these different aspects of influences on kids, and we go right from the neighbourhood, to the family, and we also look at the biology of individual children because I think what we know a lot about is that kids are individually vulnerable, so environments do not work the same on all children. If you have a parent who loses their temper very easily, that for some kids in the family that\u2019s not going to be a problem and for other children that\u2019s going to be a large problem and it\u2019s going to influence their development. So it\u2019s really looking at those contingent influences on children and how those risks at different levels operate together.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have data on them at when they were born and we include all the older siblings in our studies so that\u2019s why, how we can get these sibling influences on kids. So we have data on the children when they\u2019re at the time of birth, we look at them at 18 moths, then their older siblings at 18 months. We look at them again when the target child is three years old and the older siblings are anywhere up to about seven or eight years old. So we\u2019re tracking at these different stages. We\u2019ve done three waves of data collection and we\u2019re just completing our fourth, and that\u2019s the point at which we\u2019ll really be able to look at our trajectories of children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jenkins \u2013 kids, families and places That\u2019s a study that I started with Mike Boyle back in 2004 and the goal of that study was really to look at the macro environment of kids, so things like their neighbourhoods, children\u2019s experience of poverty, the micro environment, which would be the family environment, so the relationships [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-text-only.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-309","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":310,"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/309\/revisions\/310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/content.scienceofecd.com\/transcript\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
