Dear Parent or Guardian,

am conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,- i1 g- K# n8 |, s& U7 Q
concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and

simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you
