@DeakinIPAN @KylieHesketh @nhmrc @deakinresearch Congratulations @KylieHesketh.

We’re excited to share that @KylieHesketh has received an @nhmrc #MRFF grant focusing on nutrition and movement behaviour for toddlers. The project builds on her successful Let’s Grow family intervention. More: bit.ly/3wqVh39 @deakinresearch

#TakeHomeMessage# 💭 Sleep interventions targeting sleep duration and sleep behaviours may promote the development of ESR in toddlers.

#HotFromThePress# 🚨 My second paper from my PhD. Is officially published and available open access @BMC Public Health We explored the association between toddler’s physical activity, sleep, and emotional self-regulation(ESR). A 🧵 of our findings: link.springer.com/content/pdf/10…

3️⃣ Higher sleep duration was associated with better ESR 4️⃣ Fewer problem sleep behaviours was associated with better ESR

1️⃣ Accelerometer derive TPA, MVPA and parent reported TPA was not associated with ESR 2️⃣ Parent reported MVPA was associated with poor ESR

THANK YOU to all our researchers and students for making SENS/IPAN #1 in the world for the 5th time and #1 in Australia since #ARWU began 🥇🙏 So proud of our contribution to world-quality health research! @ShanghaiRanking

We recommend 💡More longitudinal research and RCT’s is warranted as conclusions are limited by the mostly cross-sectional evidence.

We investigated the associations between Physical Activity and Self-Regulation in Early Childhood 📄

🚨 My First Primary Author paper and our systematic review is officially published and available open access. @DeakinIPAN @KylieHesketh @sciberras_emma @DrKDowning @NinoshkaSouza @cynthsmth doi.org/10.1111/obr.13…

More findings 🔍 3️⃣ The direction of the association was mostly consistent when SR was the outcome, but unclear when it was a predictor. 4️⃣ The associations may be sensitive to time spent in physical activity and child sex.

Our findings 🔍 1️⃣ PA may have a positive association with the different domains of SR, albeit the results are far from conclusive. 2️⃣PA was more consistently associated with the behaviour domains compared to the emotional and cognitive domains
