Dear Parent or Guardian,

am conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,8 p/ k2 o9 W. z; }1 c* Q6 j7 A
concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and6 J8 A2 S* L; H4 m2 d6 I. I3 M
attachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them* S& @( s. Q/ X- B( ?9 _
will acquire language earlier and faster.

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately" ?. a. `& z p1 K. C
30 minutes, at 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We know that babies are unpredictable so if you would like us to stop5 b, V2 ~7 {- j* U; Z
videotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or
