Michele Crooks
Watch and Wonder Lead on Education, Trainer, Facilitator, and Senior Mentor
“During 9 years of engagement with the inspirational principles of B.A.S.E.® Babywatching, designed and founded by Dr Karl Heinz Brisch, I had the unique opportunity to see several core theories come to life. Watch and Wonder is the practical application of Trauma Informed theory in practice, attachment theory in practice, social learning theory in practice. I am passionately committed to the beauty of its simplicity and its clear impact on children. I have yet to experience a more effective whole class intervention that so utterly captivates children and teaches them about relationships and positive attachment. These life skills cannot be left to chance, we have a responsibility within education to ensure all children have the same life opportunities, Watch and Wonder is a simple vehicle in providing that social and emotional learning.”
Michele is a child and adult psychotherapist working in schools and is Trained as an Official Trainer by Dr Karl Heinz Brisch, 2016.
