1. ‘An organic approach to early child and family support’ describes an approach to young children and their families that is entirely natural and respectful to children, parents and practitioners. 17 minutes.
2. ‘The magic of the transdisciplinary triangle’ describes an ideal structure for the close interactions between practitioner, parent and child. 13 minutes.
3. 'How the academic world is failing all of us in early child and family support'. Universities and colleges do not train practitioners for multiagency and transdisciplinary teamwork. The video discusses the effects of this on children, families and practitioners. 13 minutes.
4. 'Do we need therapy in early child and family support?' This 13-minute video questions what therapy is and what paediatric therapists do to support children and parents. It suggests the answer is 'no'.
5. How paediatric therapy can disrupt attachment and inclusion
This 15-minute video describes six negative consequences when babies and pre-school children have regular visits for therapy to hospital outpatient departments, clinics and medical centres. These visits are detrimental to child and family quality of life.
