mum, baby observation

[lainacheek]

Hi, Iam a mother of two children living in north london and training to be a child psychotherapist. A part of my training is observing a mum and her baby for the first two years of life. I visit once a week for an hour and just watch the interaction between mother and baby. Its really about seeing how baby develops especially the communication between baby and mum. I am happy to travel. If you think you may be interested then please either reply to thread or email me on [email protected]

Just to add iam looking for a baby born either in october, November or December

Are you pregnant? Is your due date in October or November?

A bit about me

My name is Shyronie Davis and I’m starting a Masters Postrgraduate Degree at Birkbeck University to train to be a psychotherapist working with children and adolescents. A profession in which the demand for support greatly out ways the resources available and as a mum of 3 children myself, this is something I’m passionate about. Part of my degree involves an ‘infant observation’ to learn about development, attachment and emotional processes at the start of our lives.

What’s the assignment?

I am seeking a family with a baby due in October/ November 2022 who would be comfortable with me observing for one hour a week (term time only) for a year, once baby is 7 -10 days old.

This is just for me to quietly observer without judgement.

How to help

If you would like to help you can email me [email protected] and I will happily explain in more detail and answer any questions you may have. There is no obligation to volunteer by getting in touch.

Thanks for your time in reading this post and if you're able to help, I shall be eternally grateful!

Out of interest, why do you need to observe a mother and baby?

I'm a CP/CLA Social Worker retraining as a psychotherapist (most likely will work with children/young people) and it's never been mentioned about this ^

Is it a child and adolescent specific course?

Yes, this is a MSc degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with children and adolescents.

This is a zombie thread.

Maybe some institutions are different. However, with my institution this is a requirement. It’s a part of the academic research, looking a the the developments of the baby, as well as the relationship between infants and their care givers
