3. Why are Dutch children
happy?
Paul Vangeert, professor of
developmental psychology at the

have with their children.
5. Why are relationship based
courses important for promoting
social inclusion?

in society from a good relationship with their
parent/s
Optimal brain development (brain develops in the
context of a relationship)
Better language development
Better social skills
Hypothesis: Born nearer their genetic potential
(mother already in a relationship with the baby in the
womb less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, eat poorly
with low vitamin uptake)

RCTs are not the only research method
Different research funding structure in USA and
Australia make it easier to fund RCTs for
American and Australian programmes
Research funding for RCTs in the UK favours
medical interventions
The UK Treasury decided they liked RCTs
The UK Treasury havent released any more
money to do RCTs!
The Solihull Approach has a rich mix of
quantitative and qualitative research studies
