An Introduction to B.A.S.E.® Babywatching as a Whole-Class Nurture Intervention in Primary Schools, Contributing to a Therapeutic School Culture
Michele Crooks; Griselda Kellie-Smith; Andrea Perry
International Journal of Nurture in Education, v5 n1 p66-69 2019
With the aim of promoting empathy in children, Brisch (2012), drawing on his extensive work on attachment and the skills of Parens' (2008) work on aggression theory, developed the programme: Babywatching. This programme is designed as a whole class nurture intervention to reduce Anxiety and Aggression and promote Sensitivity and Empathy (B.A.S.E.). This short exemplar paper explains how the idea is being translated into working practice in the UK; reports on primary teachers' experiences, and gives examples that suggest the potential impact on children's self-awareness, emotional expression and social skills, as attachment is embedded through sensitive, attuned relationships that may be seen as part of becoming a therapeutic and nurturing school.
