Set up by Helen and Clive Dorman, Directors & Co-founders of The Children's Project to effect a sea-change in the way babies and toddlers are perceived.

Understanding why babies, toddlers and children behave the way they do is key to having the best relationships possible.

The group consists of a unique mix of parents, health professionals, and academics.

We want successful parenting to be founded upon respect, empathy, listening and secure attachments, recognising that each baby and toddler is a unique individual with their own thoughts and feelings, strengths and sensitivites. Remarkably similar to how we feel about ouselves as 'grown ups'.

Here also is a place to share your triumphs in raising happy social babies and to find answers to concerns about routines and behaviour.

Information about us can be found http://socialbaby.com along with our books and other products.
