The Emotional World Our Children Grow Up In
Lisa Jolly explores how children's emotional experiences are shaped not only by the care they receive, but also by the relationships, responses and patterns within their family environment.
Drawing on her background in nursing, midwifery and child and family health, Lisa brings a deeper understanding of child development and family relationships to conferences, parenting events and professional education.
There is often more happening than the behaviour we see.
Parenting advice frequently focuses on what a child is doing and how an adult should respond.
Yet a child's developmental needs, the stress parents are carrying, their own early experiences and the ways adults relate to one another can all influence what happens within a family.
Lisa brings these different parts of the picture together, helping audiences consider familiar parenting challenges from a wider perspective.
The aim is to support greater understanding of children, parents and the emotional environment they share.
