The latest greetings from the pPOD team come from the airport departure lounge of Gdańsk, Poland! We are heading back to London after a fantastic week of training looking into parent-infant interactions at the University of Gdańsk with Professor Marian Bakermans-Kranenburg (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam). Professor Bakermans-Kranenburg is one of the world leaders in child and family studies and has extensive experience in training researchers on parent-infant interactions.
The course focused on how to tune in to the more subtle and nuanced moments of caregiver-infant interactions. A range of research groups came together at the training to learn how to bring more attention to the quality of everyday exchanges between parents and their children.

Although we were kept busy learning these new skills, it was great to also be treated to some of Gdańsk’s best sights by our hosts who proved to be wonderful tour guides!
We can’t wait to master these new skills and put them into action in our work back in London.
