Infant observation
Hello!
I am a year 1 student at Tavistock and Portman NHS, studying an MA course in ‘Working with children, young people and families: A psychoanalytic observational approach’.
I am in the search of finding a family who would be willing to open up their doors to carry out observations of their newborn baby.
The purpose of the observation is so that I can gain an understanding of the development and interaction of the baby.
The observation will mean that I will observe parent(s) with the child for approximately an hour, same time, same day of the week.
All of the observations will be strictly confidential and written materials and discussions will not contain any identifiable details concerning the family.
I can surely say that it is a commitment but I have also heard that as sensitive a time frame it is and personal. There have been great findings that have been a gaining experience for both parties.
I have an enhanced DBS check that has been provided by the institute and if this does move you in any way to consider opening your doors, please feel free to contact me.
