LEAPS: Family and Social Environment: Data collection has resumed!
How quickly time flies! It has already been almost a year since the parents of approximately 1,500 children participating in LEAP – a longitudinal study in the Canton of Zurich that follows children throughout their compulsory schooling – provided us with information on a wide range of topics related to their family, their children’s leisure activities, and their well-being.
While half of the children were completing their second year of kindergarten, the other half took a significant step during this time—the transition to elementary school. Both are key developmental stages that offer fascinating insights into learning and adaptation processes.
Key topics this year:
- Changes in the family situation regarding living arrangements, work circumstances, or the birth of another child
- the development of language and reading skills, as well as
- the use of digital media.
A big thank you to all parents and guardians who take the time to participate and make such a valuable contribution.
