The Middle Years Development Instrument (MDI) data represent one of the most comprehensive population-based datasets about children in the middle years and early adolescence over time in Canada, providing information from the perspectives of children on their social and emotional competence, mental and physical health, and well-being, as well the assets in their lives, including connectedness to adults and peers, nutrition and sleep, and use of time after school.
Join Dr. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl as she shares highlights from the latest MDI data collected earlier this year from over 38,000 children in grade 4 through 8 in British Columbia, with comparisons to MDI data collected in past years in order to shed light on children’s well-being over time both before and during the current pandemic. She will also provide examples and practical strategies of how MDI data can be used at the school district and community level to support the well-being of our children. There’s so much we can learn if we continue listening to children’s voices.
