First steps

'Summer flower' 2012

I wonder whether this film could be used to describe conductive upbringing.

I love the way that this mum gently insists that her toddler spends a bit longer trying out its new found legs and arms. It is amazing how delicately she moves a hand to the right position so baby can hold its weight on its arm and how she knows exactly how little she should help so a movement can take place.

As a conductor I learnt a lot from this gorilla mum!

This is a difficult one. This baby gorilla presumably has an intact CNS but I do wonder what would be the situation were it damaged and the dependent mother-child link therefore disrupted.

I have decided to make things a bit easier for people who come to my blog, by creating this second site. My initial plan is that it will be entirely about conductive upbringing, but we shall see how it develops.

My wish is to publish articles by different people, by anyone who has a story to tell, questions to ask or information to share.

Of course I will also publish my own writings on conductive upbringing, but essentially this space will be for anyone who wishes to send me something to publish.

This can, for example, be something already published, either on another blog or as a paper. It can be a summary of something that has been discussed at a conference or between a group of colleagues, friends or parents. It can be something written especially for the blog about personal experiences. It can be something that has been discovered somewhere on the internet that can be discussed here on the blog, or it can be a posting full of questions for readers to attempt to answer.

It can be anything that you the readers, wish it to be.

I also wish to use this site to link to anything that I or readers discover anywhere, on line or on paper, about conductive upbringing.

I sowed the first seeds for this blog over a year ago now, then began planning it on line in the spring. Although the layout is not finished and I am having a lot of difficulties getting all the gadgets to work, I think it time to press the button and get it going, and let the rest sort itself out on the way.

If anyone wishes to publish something here then all that is needed to do is send it to me in an email or as a comment that can be moved into the main part of the blog if necessary.
