New Parents Survey
Hello, my name is Justin Kim, a graduate student in Industrial Design at the University of Illinois. I'm currently conducting research on the challenges new parents encounter when raising their nbaby. I've prepared a survey to identify these challenges and brainstorm potential product and service solutions. I'm reaching out to parents who can share their experiences; it's not limited to recent parents, as even those with older children who remember their parenting journey can provide valuable insights. Additionally, I welcome foster parents to participate. Your input will be immensely valuable to the success of my project, and I sincerely appreciate your support.
