I am starting an Observational Course at the Tavistock Clinic. In order to develop observational skills, preclinical practice and understanding of early infancy the course requires me to observe a parent(mum/dad) and baby for one hour a week for two years. It is not to provide advice and the observation is carried out in a non-judgemental way.


Ideally I am looking for a family who is having a baby in October.


If you think you would be interested please do get in touch. We can set up an informal meeting to answer any questions you have and of course you can change your mind after the meeting. The observations can happen on a day/time convenient to you (it does need to be the same day & time every week) in your home/ a baby group/ routine trip out. All my observations will of course be confidential and anonymous.


I have further information that I can e-mail if anyone is interested, a letter from my University confirming who I am and a recent CRB check. Please do get in touch if you think you are able to help.

Sorry aguacate I can't help you, but just thought I would mention that I was an "observee" for someone on a similar course when my youngest was a baby (he's 3 now! How time flies!). It wasn't at all onerous, in fact I quite liked it because it gave me a weekly opportunity to notice what was new since the previous week. So if you read the OP and think it sounds weird, it's not!

Child observation is a requirement of Social Work training - I did 3 hours a week for a term in a nursery of an 18 month old child. It is surprising what you notice i.e the interaction between various adults/carers and 'your' child.


I would imagine observing a parent and child is more fascinating, as an outsider you can see the differences over a period of time I see my youngest grandchild ( 6 months) roughly every 6 weeks as she is not local, but I can see the changes and the developmental progress more clearly than her parents.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

      Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

      By Sue Klein · Posted

      I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
