am conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,! W) P" M y' y! ]! W

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately

videotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or
