Abstract

for their invaluable guidance throughout my PhD and for inspiring me to pursue a career in academia. I would also like to thank all of the families who kindly gave their time to participate in these studies and the Child Growth Foundation for funding this research. I am extremely grateful to my parents for their encouragement and support and for always believing in me. Finally, I would like to dedicate my thesis to my sister, Romana.
