Psychologist book reviews


​Our psychologists collect and review their favourite children's books here and on Instagram.

Long before children understand words, they are learning through the warmth, rhythm and connection that reading provides.

Reading to your child 
  • strengthens connection and secure attachment
  • supports brain development
  • provides a calm space for winding down to sleep
  • develops language and literacy skills
  • builds emotional intelligence
  • supports attention and self-regulation
  • promotes learning
  • provides an interest in a life-long love of books
  • fosters a common language in the home for understanding feelings, self-regulation, dealing with difficult experiences
