I am a family therapist and am currently taking a post-graduate course in Child, adolescent and Family and Family Work.
The 'infant observation' module requires that I observe the development of a new born baby, starting early after they are born. The baby can be no older than 5-7 weeks. This would mean me attending the family home for 1 hour a week, for up to 2 years to observe typical baby-parent interactions.
I am taking this course to enhance my therapeutic work with children, YP and families.
The aim is to better understand child development, particularly what we go through at the start of our journey as people.
Feedback from Mothers who have participated in infant observation have reported it to be a positive and beneficial experience.
For any Mums who are interested, please message me.
