Hello, I hope you don't mind me posting on your thread, but I was hoping one of you might be able to help please... I am doing a psychotherapy training course which includes doing a baby observation, so I am looking for a baby to observe! There are several other similar requests elsewhere on this forum, and a friend of mine who is pregnant and lives in East Dulwich (I live near Brixton) suggested I could try posting on here (she is only due in March and ideally I need a baby born a bit earlier than that in the next couple of months). The observation involves observing the development of a baby from as close to possible to the birth until their first birthday, to watch and learn about its mental, psychological and emotional (as well as physical!) development, and how it relates to the world. The observation happens at home at a regular time once a week for an hour whenever is convenient, and mum and baby should just do whatever they would normally be doing anyway. The observer is not there to offer any advice or intervention at all, but purely as a completely neutral observer. Previous mums who have taken part have also found it a very positive and enjoyable experience. If you might be interested or would like to know more, please give me a shout! Thank you! Isabel
