Description

Our behaviour, our relationships and the way we perceive the world are shaped by our earliest experiences and attachments. From birth, babies are encoding information about their environment. But can sensations, emotions and experiences be felt in the womb? Is that where memory begins? And after birth, when learning starts in the apparent absence of language, what is happening inside the baby’s developing brain and mind?

Child psychology addresses these questions. By observing development from babyhood through adolescence and into adult life, we can see how the blueprint for later behaviour and relationships forms.

“Especially loved the lesson on Attachment Theory, that I’ll keep in mind as I bring up my own child.  It’s made me look at babies in a completely different way.  Thank you so much”  [Samantha – Mother & Homemaker]
