We are currently doing a study on early sun exposure and later development, which involves parents of 1 to 3 year olds.

The study address is SunlightStudy.org if you would like to come and check us out. If you personally know any parents that might be interested in participation and if you could forward this information on to them, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much for your time!

If you or someone you know has young children, please take a few moments to fill out the survey after all, the findings could one day help in your own child's development.

Kind regards,

I do have a friend with a small son who is always doing research on ways to improve his health. He seems to be sick a lot. I will send her the link and let her decide what to do.

That's great tk, thank you!

I've actually asked a few friends to try the survey out and hope to partner with another couple of forums when it comes to sharing programs such as this.

If it helps us gain valuable insight into childhood development then it's an invaluable resource IMHO.

Thanks TK and Duke, you guys are a great help! I can't wait to see what we find out from this research.

I am sorry I am not of much help. The people I know have children above the age limit.

Actually it would be interesting to hear some feedback from Roblin on this one because my assumption would be that so long as your kids are still young (5 and under) you should still be a candidate (assuming your habits haven't changed much).

Of course by narrowing the ages down their not relying on anyones memories so it may focus input better.
