Research

Child development research and child psychology can seem difficult to understand. In the research section of the website I decode the jargon to make it accessible for you. If there are any areas you would like me to write about please get in touch.

Stories

Storytelling is an important tradition. Stories often contain lessons and they are powerful tools for learning. Therapeutic stories use metaphors to address problems children might face. Approaching problems metaphorically allows children explore challenges in a less confronting way.

Vygotsky quote with a child dressed as a superhero on a blue background. The quote says "A child's play is not simply a reproduction of what they have experienced, but a creative reworking of the impressions they have acquired"
Carl Jung quote with two children looking through toys on the floor surrounded by toys. The quote says "The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct"
