Helping parents, adopters, carers and professionals better understand children, behaviour, emotions and connection.
I am Dr Derek, a therapist, parent and clinician sharing practical, compassionate guidance to help adults show up more clearly, calmly and confidently in the lives of children and young people.
On this channel you will find videos on parenting, emotional wellbeing, attachment, trauma, behaviour, relationships, emotional regulation, adoption, care experience and the powerful role adults play in shaping a child.
Whether you are a parent trying to respond differently at home, an adopter or carer supporting a child with a complex story, or a professional working with children and families, this channel is here to give you useful insights, honest reflection and practical tools you can actually use.
