About Suzanne Zeedyk:
For the past 25 years, Suzanne has been an academic researcher, studying babies' innate ability to communicate and connect with other people. In 1993, Suzanne took up an academic post in the UK, as a Developmental Psychologist based at the University of Dundee and has remained there ever since, currently holding the post of Honorary Fellow.
She has loved what the field of Developmental Psychology has taught her why it is that a child's earliest years have such a profound effect on their later years, including their emotional security, their trust in others, their self-confidence, and their relationships. Now she wants to help ensure that this knowledge is spread as widely as possible and frequently acts as partner or speaker for a wide range of organisations throughout the UK and abroad including police, educators, health workers, nursery staff, parent groups, and children's theatre groups helping them to better understand the neuroscientific, biological, and psychological evidence concerning the human need for emotional connection. Suzanne feels if we overlook the early years, then we all pay for it, through the services that governments need to fund, such as prisons, mental health programmes, hospitals, fostering arrangements, and others. Tackling many of society's challenges can best be done by paying attention to the emotional needs of babies.
