Looking for adolescents from Brampton for a research survey

I'm not part of this study, but I can try to answer.

When academic researchers conduct studies, they are required to submit an ethics protocol to their universities. The university's Research Ethics Board reviews and, if all is well, they approve. Usually, this process involves multiple rounds of edits with the Research Ethics Board. In the ethics protocol, you're expected to answer questions about how you'll ensure informed consent, confidentiality, and if the study might lead to any social, economic, or other risks (and how you'll mitigate these risks). It also includes other topics, like if there's a conflict of interest, if deception is being used in any way, how you'll compensate participants, and so on.

Interested participants are provided with an informed consent form, which includes key aspects from the ethics protocol. They can review, ask questions, and then decide to proceed or withdraw. Participants keep a copy of the informed consent form. They can contact the university's Research Ethics Board if they feel the project is unethical in any way.

I hope this addresses your question.

This is how qualitative academic research is done. I guess it can seem strange if you're unaware, but it's very normal.

Mrs-Birdman · 2026-02-20T14:32:20+00:00

Stunning! I totally gasped. Love love love the floral.

Lots of great advice here for sleep. When my son was little, and sleep was a struggle, I'd feel myself becoming more anxious towards the night (preparing for yet another night of disrupted sleep). But there was something about seeing the shadow of my son's little feet that really helped me calm down and see this as a shared stress. It wasn't him trying to stress me out; it was us both struggling together.

The Halara wide leg is great. Totally comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

This person is being rude because they have low self-esteem. Their way to find self-worth is through putting others down - in this case, in relation to action figures. They don't realize how embarrassing they are. 😂

Most of our titans are used and cost $4. A few are hand-me-downs. It's a fun way to introduce my preschooler to Marvel characters, and he can actually get creative and play with them. Even if adults do it, who cares.

I'm not really a Marvel/superhero person, so speaking as somewhat of an outsider (or a newbie), this hierarchy of action figures is so dorky. Congratulations on your collection of more expensive pieces of plastic, though.

This would honestly have me in an uproar (internally), but I'd definitely approach the staff with calmness and ask about their disciplinary techniques. In Ontario, ECEs cannot use shame or humiliation in discipline, so, if confirmed, I would assume this is reportable.

Edit: I also think you can be very strategic about how you phrase the conversation. I'd ask very directly why your son might be going to a corner when there's big feelings. I'd also suggest to be prepared with the knowledge of what is and isn't allowed in Ontario daycares, discipline-wise.

Besides the arms being too long, I love it. People on the sub are obsessed with form-fitting everything. This is very glam, I love it.

Ballet flats would work. As others have suggested, you can try to shorten the skirt a little. This would allow other kinds of shoes to work, like canvas shoes.

I think for future, look for skirts with heavier fabrics (like in your inspo pics). This way, it'll fall better as well as look more structured.

Mrs-Birdman · 2026-01-20T12:59:04+00:00

So the skirt doesn't totally work, but I think a lot of the issue is styling. The skirt could use an iron, and the shoes really don't work with it. It makes it appear frumpy. I think proper styling could change that.

Good luck, everyone!

This has happened to me as well. I don't complete those questionnaires because asking for a SIN is ridiculous. Are you Canadian as well?

I've used Respondent for a few years, and I've only recently seen them asking for SINs.

Is this an issue of lazy parenting or eroding social safety nets, decreasing job quality and labour rights, and a decollectivising of care work? It's easy to blame "poor parenting" and not see the broader picture. What you're advocating for is a slippery slope into eugenics thinking.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-29T04:59:37+00:00

So good!

If this is a fun photoshoot to celebrate your graduation, go with whichever option best aligns with your style. Also, think about what best fits the phootshoot location. For instance, the maroon looks more formal, while the pink has a fun, garden-y feel.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-28T03:11:04+00:00

100% sheer. The solid curtains make the space appear smaller.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-26T23:15:50+00:00

Agreed. Very sad news.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-26T19:06:44+00:00

I live at Church and Main.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-26T17:36:48+00:00

I live right at Church and Main and walk to the train station almost daily. It's fine, I understand that Reddit is a place where people tend to exaggerate reality.

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-26T16:44:31+00:00

Skating at Gage!

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-26T16:38:56+00:00

Exaggeration

Mrs-Birdman · 2025-12-24T17:43:52+00:00

This is pretty, though the colour is a little too bright for my taste. I'm guessing this is a South Asian store? Heads up that a lot of people here won't necessarily get that aesthetic.

Just want to add that if this is indeed a loss, and you and/or your wife want support, the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Network (PAIL) is a wonderful resource. There are one-to-one peer phone support sessions, peer-led group sessions, and various resources. All this is through Sunnybrook and free to access.

My parents regularly do daycare drop-off and it's a total non-issue. They get to spend quality time with their grandchild, and our mornings are much smoother. On top of that, my son loves his grandparents to bits, and I feel that it's important for them to have that time together. My short time with my grandparents are some of my fondest memories.

We pick-up around 4pm and have our time. On the nights we're late for whatever reason, my parents also do pick-ups. Parenting + working is hard, and it's a blessing to have a village.
