Abstract

The author aims to show that observers learn a lot from presenting the idea of an observation to parents, and that, while everyone is self-conscious at the start of an observation, research suggests that many parents find that they enjoy and benefit from the weekly visits. On very rare occasions observers need to think about risk and child safeguarding with the support of teachers. Research suggests that many parents enjoy the observer's visits and enjoy observing their baby more themselves. Observers learn a lot about themselves and, in their seminars, about other babies' development. Each observation is unique as observers discover week by week about their own observed baby and the other babies' developing minds and imagination.
