Incredible Families with Watch, Wait and Wonder DownUnder are running a 3-day Introductory Training
2-4th March 2020 in Wellington.
Watch, Wait and Wonder (WWW) is a child-led dyadic psychotherapeutic intervention that specifically and directly uses the spontaneous activity of the child in a play setting to enhance parental sensitivity and responsiveness; the child’s sense of self, self-efficacy, and emotional regulation; and the child’s attachment relationship with their parent. The intervention provides space for the child and parent (caregiver) to work through developmental and relational struggles through play. The parent is engaged in thinking about the play and their child’s inner world of feelings, thoughts and desires. A parent comes to recognise the separate self of the infant and gain understanding of their own emotional responses to their child. The child having a central role in the work differentiates this intervention from many that focus primarily on the more verbal partner. Research indicates that WWW is applicable to a range of infants and young children with relational, behavioural, regulatory and developmental problems. (M Lojkasek, E Muir and N Cohen)
The intervention was developed in New Zealand and researched in Canada.
