What is it about?
Miracles of Development is a multidisciplinary longitudinal research project that started during 1999. We have followed over 800 Finnish families from pregnancy via childhood and adolescence into early adulthood. The aim is to understand human social-emotional, relational, regulatory and psychobiological development, with specific interest in the significance of the very earliest experiences. We focus on the long-term pathways and multilevel and age-salient mechanisms that shape development, health, and psychopathology. Our multidisciplinary research team brings together expertise in psychology, brain research, endocrinology, and obstetrics.
