I would enhance my knowledge and understanding about children’s different stages of development and psychology behind the phases. Emotional issues, anxieties or other psychological difficulties are part of my professional preparation and skill. Difficulties can often be resolved with an early attention, care and intervention. Organise different activities, plays, stories, different levels of conversation and the ability to listen to a child or any other is of great value and important tool to help and be part of life. Also supporting parents and families. Psychoanalysis-Training at "Maison Verte" in London As a volunteer - 2016-2017 Maison Verte is a place for children and parents where they can naturally discover and encounter their own desires. It is a place where children and parents can let their being flourish without a command or bias. Children can be themselves, playing, talking, running, drawing freely and expurgating their emotions. At Maison Verte, parents with their children, have a place to be themselves, interacting or resting, playing, talking or be in silence. The volunteer observes and participates with the children and with the parents. The process also goes along with other volunteers and with senior psychoanalysts. One has the opportunity to read the bodies’ reaction, expressions and intervene when necessary. The intervention could allow diminishing a moment of tension, reducing anguish and helping with any cathartic moment. Each saying may open a window for a new way of being in the world, a new view and recognition. An early intervention, closer to the origin of the problem may create a change, often a surprising resolution of the issue. Intervention through talking, play, drawing has an effect, expurgating emotions, pacifying the individual. The discoveries create new ways to deal with difficulties and doubts.
