Let's Grow
A project to understand how best to support parents with play and sleep in the toddler yearsAbout the Let’s Grow research study
Helping parents of toddlers learn skills and strategies to support healthy happy children
Being a parent of a toddler can be a daunting task! We can all use a little extra help sometimes. This research study aims to understand whether a program available through your mobile phone is useful for parents.
Designed for parents, by a team of experts and parents
Let’s Grow has been designed by experts from Australia and internationally with input from parents themselves into what they want and how best to deliver it. The study is led by a team at the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN), Deakin University.
Group 1
Will be given access to an app to trial for 6 months. The app provides information and strategies designed to support parents of toddlers with their child’s nutrition, sleep, screen time and play.
Group 2
Will receive our regular Toddler Tips across the 6 months, with information on important child health issues. This is designed to support parents in a more traditional way with their toddler’s health and development.
All families will be asked to complete an online survey and wear an activity monitor at 4 timepoints: at the start of the study, then at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months at the end of the study.
The Let’s Grow app and Let’s Grow Toddler Tips have been created by experts in parenting, child behaviour and child health.
