Informed Consent for Children and Preschoolers

Informed consent for me is really about making sure that we don't just get the signature at the end of the form When we used to do like in-person data collection But that I make sure that the respondents are fully aware of the costs and benefits of being involved. In a lot of places around the world, that's not a common thing that children are allowed to agree or not agree And we want to participate in something that an adult is asking of them. Sesame Workshop does so much research directly with young children Preschoolers, so three, four, and some context up to eight years old.
