"Giving a voice to new parents during the pandemic" a new research study co-led by Psychology's Dr Michelle McGillion working with colleagues from Sheffield. Find out more here.
Dr Michelle McGillion, Assistant Professor in Developmental Psychology at the 果冻传媒, said: 鈥淏ecoming a parent during the pandemic meant that family and friends didn鈥檛 meet my baby until he was 6 months old. They missed his tiny babyhood and I missed them. It鈥檚 clear from our initial responses that loneliness had a detrimental impact on new parents during the pandemic. We hope that by giving new parents a voice and amplifying their experiences, we can help other new parents to feel less alone.
鈥淢any people have worried about the impact of the pandemic on babies, however we think there should be a focus on supporting parents so they can be in the best position to support their babies.鈥�
