Ein Rucksack voll Vertrauen

Damit sie sich gut entfalten können, brauchen Kinder vor allem das Gefühl von Sicherheit und Vertrauen. Ich hab mich mit Roger Nickl der @uzh-ch.bsky.social darüber unterhalten wie Kinder glücklich aufwachsen. Sie brauchen einen Rucksack gefüllt mit VIEL Vertrauen!

Heranwachsende suchen sich ihre Vorbilder, auch im Fussball. Manche eignen sich besser, manche sich weniger zum Nacheifern. Aber auch aus dem Umgang mit Fehlern kann man viel lernen:

I'm writing today with a big request during a difficult time for all of us. Together, we've grown Children Helping Science into a cornerstone for online developmental research. Researchers from roughly 150 institutions have conducted remote studies with over 15,000 families since 2020, with many of those families returning to participate in multiple studies across labs.
The CHS team and infrastructure is currently supported almost entirely by the United States government (NSF and NIH). Like many US researchers, we're facing substantial uncertainty about what this means for our financial stability over the coming months and years, and we are hard at work pursuing every angle to keep this platform available to the community. This includes exploring new funding strategies we have previously not considered, like possibly allowing some carefully vetted companies to display ads to families.
Researchers will continue to be able to use the CHS platform for free, but your support right now is critical. At the same time, we know that many of you, especially those of you in the United States, are facing the same instability to present and future funding as we are.
Today, we are asking for three FREE actions from all of you to support our immediate fundraising efforts:

**Send us your citations.**
If you have publications that collected data or advertised studies through CHS or Lookit, please share those references. These citations are essential for demonstrating CHS’s impact to funders. A list of all the citations we're aware of is linked here, in case you're not sure whether we have your recent articles.
**Send us publicly shareable materials and press coverage.**
If you have cute study designs, engaging visuals, or images of adorable kids (with the necessary permissions) we’d love to use them in presentations to potential funders. Similarly, if your research has been covered in any public media (university publications, podcasts, news articles), please send these to us.
**Share your funding applications and ideas.**
If you are preparing a grant proposal (to any funding source), please reach out to discuss how you can include a budget line to support CHS. If you have ideas for joint projects, or even of funders you think we should reach out to - we're all ears! And if you have ever received funding to conduct studies using CHS/Lookit, please also make sure we know about it.
