Hello all,


I have recently begun the second year of a Masters degree in Child Psychotherapy and am looking for a kind, local family who might be willing to help me with a module of my Masters...


The particular module focuses on personality development in young children and involves observing a young child (aged between 2 ? to 3 ?) for one hour a week over the next 9 months. I also have a series of lectures and seminars on the subject, but the practical experience of observing this happen in a real child is the most important part of the module.


I?m aware that the the idea of having your child ?observed? might sound a little strange or even daunting, however the observations are incredibly informal and are really just to help me understand how personality develops in normal, happy children.


If you think you might be at all interested in taking part or have any questions, please get in touch. If necessary, I can also provide references, a letter from my Uni and recent CRB form. I am also more than happy to meet with you and talk things over before expecting you to commit.


Thanks for reading this and hope to hear from you.


Anna




A little bit more about me: My name is Anna, I?m 25 and grew up in Dulwich. I have a BSc in Psychology and hope to train as a Child psychotherapist once I have finished my masters. I have lots of experience working with children and currently work in a special needs school for children with autism, as well as working as an Assistant Psychotherapist in a primary school for one day a week. I am also in the middle of a 2 year observation (very similar to this one) of a little boy from 0-2 years old. He is just about to turn 1 and I first made contact with his mother over the EDF when she was 8 months pregnant. Everything is going so well with that observation that I thought I would try my luck here again!

Hi, the child can probably be up to 4 at the start. The age range we were advised to look for is quite vague - the child should be no younger than 2.5 at the start and shouldn't really have turned 5 by the end of the 9 months. I hope that makes sense.

      Has she been out before?  Bengals love to explore and have a high prey drive.  Put her litter tray and bed outside which may help her to find her way home.

      This may be somewhat out of date but virtually no environmental benefit & almost entirely grass... really? https://www.gigl.org.uk/sinc/sobi09/ Description Peckham Rye was established as an open space in the late 19th century and includes several valuable habitat features spread across the park. The park is a Grade II Listed landscape, and has recently been restored with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund. A small community garden within the site is managed by the Friends of Peckham Rye. Peckham Rye Park won a Green Flag Award again for 2022. The site is used by the Southwark Health Walks project as part of a Walking the Way to Health (WHI) scheme. Wildlife This large park has several valuable habitat features. The most important of these is the only remaining above-ground section of the River Peck and the most natural stream in the borough. The stream is heavily shaded by native, unmanaged wet woodland dominated by alder, ash and pedunculated oak with a ground cover of pendulous sedge and bramble. Alder dominated woodland is a rare habitat in Southwark. Although somewhat altered with weirs, other artificial structures and ornamental planting, some sections are still in their natural banks and includes yellow flag, watercress, water figwort and cuckooflower. The largest of three ponds supports marginal vegetation including hemp agrimony. A variety of waterfowl nest on the wooded island, including tufted duck, coot, Canada goose and mallard. Substantial flocks of gulls visit the park in winter and bats are likely to forage over the water. Small blocks of predominantly native woodland, mostly on the boundary between the Park and the Common, are dominated by oak and ash with a well-developed understory, but sparse ground flora. Spring bulbs have been planted in previous years. These and several dense shrubberies support a good bird population and small numbers of pipistrelle bats are present. Infrequently mown grassland is located in one large area and was seeded in 2009. It's composition includes giant fescue, ladies bedstraw, meadowsweet, black knapweed and wild carrot. The rest of the park consists of amenity grassland with some fine mature trees.

      Same here. Incredibly selfish behaviour. Also illegal.
