Baby Observation


ClaraZ

Recommended Posts

Hello! I am looking for parents expecting in the next 3 months or have a new born less than 4 weeks, who might be interested in participating in an infant observation.


My name is Clara and I am studying a masters course in Psychotherapy and Human Development with Birkbeck University. A central part of my course is to observe an infant-parent in their home environment from birth. The aim is for me to learn, through close attention and quiet observation, how babies develop and begin to form relationships. This will provide the foundation for my future goal of becoming a child psychotherapist. Observations would be for one hour a week at a mutually agreed time to suit you. This would last for 2 years, excluding holidays and can include breaks if needed.


Mothers who have taken part in previous observations have found this to be an enriching and rewarding experience, which encouraged them to notice details and developing abilities in their baby. Weekly visits will be unobtrusive and can provide a feeling of structure, containment and a friendly face. You can receive written feedback at the end of the observation. I am local to the area so can be flexible to suit your needs and routine.


If this is something you are interested in helping with, or think someone you know might be, then I would be more than happy to talk it through. I have a current DBS and can provide a letter from my university with further details. You can reach me at [email protected], or via this thread. Thank you for your time :-)

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
