Hi All
I am on a Masters Conversion course. The course is a child and adolescent training course - I am undertaking it to enable me to better work with children and young people as a psychotherapist.
I am female, live in N London, and am wholly committed to working with young people.
My course requires that I observe the development of a new born baby, starting from as early after they are born as is possible, understanding their early journey through life. The idea of me observing a baby is so I can better understand human development - so I can better understand what we all go through at the very start of our journey as human beings.
If you are a Mother to be or a Mother whose baby has recently been born or you know anyone who would be interested in taking part, I would need to observe the baby's interactions with Mother and the world, and record the process of their development.
The observation would be once a week, for an hour, in baby and Mother's home. An Observation requires that I sit in a still and contemplative state - not intruding or judging - simply observing baby and noticing the subtle changes in how baby is developing, growing and relating to the world around them.
Witnessing a baby's development and interactions with the world for an hour a week will help me understand better the changes that we all go through as human beings, enable me to understand so much better the journey all of us take through the first year or so of life. Ultimately, it would help me become a better therapist when working with young people because I would be able to understand better how we all begin, grow and develop.
I can provide you a letter of reference from my training institution.
Thanks for taking the time to read this request / passing it on.
Kind Regards - Kris
