It was a delight to take part in the 60th birthday celebrations for Northern Ireland's early-years.org earlier in the month. I ran a workshop on Nurturing infnat joy, connection and curiosity.
Here's a write of part 1 of 3 - all about connection.

Grateful for the incredible love and support at #SRCD2025 in response to the injustices and tragedies of recent deportations. I hope more conferences continue to stand in solidarity with scholars facing such hardships across the field. #DevPsych #PsychSci #Psysci
