Are you interested in helping researchers learn more about how babies communicate?

Kirsten Sharman, Principal Advisor in the Office of the Children's Commissioner, is looking for 30 Wellington-based parents and caregivers of 9-12 month old babies to participate in the pilot stage of her PhD research.

Kirsten has developed an on-line survey to investigate how communication develops. The survey is for parents of 9-12-month-olds. It asks questions about parents’ and caregivers’ attitudes to communication and their language behaviours, and about baby’s communication.

Kirsten will come to your house (or another convenient location) to sit with you while you take the survey on-line, then talk with you afterwards how you felt it went. This will take about 20 minutes. Your answers will help Kirsten ensure the survey is suitable to be distributed to 500+ parents in 2019. You will also go into a prize draw.

Kirsten is wanting to hear from all kinds of parents and caregivers who care for babies, as long as they can speak English, live in the Wellington region and their baby is aged between nine and twelve months of age.

If you have any questions, or you would like to volunteer to participate in the study, please contact Kirsten on 0275730762, or K.Sharman@auckland.ac.nz

Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 26 October 2018 for three years, Reference Number 022158

Hi neighbours,

What's the traffic like in your city? The good, the bad, and the ugly of the Wellington region's transport has been laid bare in a council report, which will be presented to the region's mayors this week.

The report found that traffic entering Wellington during the morning peak was travelling at an average speed of 35.4kmh, while evening traffic heading out was hitting 39.7kmh. That's the slowest recorded speed since 2014! To read more about this, click here.

So what's your work commute like? Do you have an issue with congestion, the safety of roading, and rising diesel sales in your city? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below. (Please add "NFP/not for print" if you do not want your images/ comments used on Stuff)
