Description
|
Originally developed as part of
the STEEP™
program, Seeing is Believing® is a unique
practice that helps parents increase their sensitivity and responsiveness to
their babies' cues by using a filming strategy.
Through
filming and guided viewing,
Seeing is Believing®
promotes
perspective-taking by giving parents a chance to see, from the camera’s
point of view, what happens between them and their baby.
The primary
goal of using filming is to promote the parents’ self-observation and
reinforce their growing knowledge of and sensitivity to their babies. Using
filming as a self-observation tool, we present parents with a way of
seeing themselves and their babies from a new vantage point. We urge
parents to see their own strengths and those of their babies and encourage
them to consider their infant’s perspective as they interact with their
babies. The parent keeps the
film as
a documented memory of the baby’s development.
Typical age of
child for final film project for course: Most people work with very
young children (approx. birth to five) and their parents. You can adapt
this model to older children but the emphasis is on capturing and
building up the relationship between the child and the caregiver(s).
Seeing is Believing®
- Online is designed for education and human service professionals
like you working in the homes of families with very young children. The purpose of the
course is to teach you the techniques of filming and guided
self-observation so that you can work more effectively with parents, helping
them to strengthen their parenting skills.
As a
student taking this on-line training, you will:
-
understand the technique's conceptual underpinnings of
attachment and relationship-based practice,
-
learn the technique itself and
-
have opportunities to practice and share your
experiences with fellow students.
The course
is taught by Kathi Blomquist, PHN, MS, IMH-E®-III.
Training
includes a combination of:
- online
reading,
- lecture,
-
discussion, and
- practice
activities.
It’s a
great way for you to learn and practice guided filming skills at your
own pace and communicate with like-minded colleagues. Now you can
participate in
SIB®
training no matter where you live or work!
