The FIL directed by @natashajcabrera explores how low-income fathers & mothers are involved in their children's lives & their influence on child development
We are so excited for our doctoral student @AngelicaAlonsoF who is having her first baby in just a couple of weeks! @natashajcabrera threw a fabulous baby shower & we’re still not over it! Can’t wait for our lab family to grow soon 🤍
Our Developmental Psychology paper is out! So excited to share our new findings about #father prenatal involvement predicting father-adolescent relationships using @FFCWS data! https://t.co/CzwddFjwbD Thanks to my fabulous co-authors @natashajcabrera and Jay Fagan
Our lab is recruiting grad students! If you're interested, apply to the Human Development program within the Department of Human Development and Quantitative Methodology. Please feel free to email Dr. Cabrera to learn more about the program and the lab.
We are looking for new research assistants to join our lab! If you’re interested in child development and parenting interventions, please consider this opportunity! We’re especially in need of Spanish bilingual RAs. Remote work is fine! Please share/RT. 😄
Come see my virtual poster about mothers’ and fathers’ playfulness at 9, 18, and 24 months! I even included cute video clips from the Baby Books 2 families! #play#parenting@UMD_FamilyLab
Another reason to #CelebrateDads! Research by grad student Angelica Alonso and @natashajcabrera finds that Latino and African American fathers are likely to support and match their toddlers' expression of positive emotions
I, and all of the members of @UMD_FamilyLab with @natashajcabrera are excited to celebrate both #Juneteenth and #FathersDay. We continuously work to showcase African American fathers and their loving & impactful father-child relationships in our research👨🏾🍼

New research from our lab! Mother-child dyadic synchrony and fathers’ optimism function differently as protective factors for toddlers’ socio-emotional development, suggesting potential avenues for fostering resilience among families and children.
