The Childhood Memories Exhibition was organised as part of Anna Freud Centre's 50th anniversary celebrations in 2002. For the exhibition, celebrities discussed their childhood memories. Click here to view the exhibition online (link).
In 2000, the Anna Freud Centre was asked by Nursery World, one of the UK's leading publications on child care and child development, to contribute a series of articles relating to various aspects of child development and behaviour.
Click on the links below to read those articles:
- Moving On: Managing Transition
- Acting the Part: Expression through Play
- Going Back: Reverting to less mature behaviour is often an indication that children are feeling vulnerable

- A painful subject: Biting alarms adults but is often a cry for attention by a child who is feeling abandoned, frustrated or afraid. Child psychotherapists from the Anna Freud Centre offer helpful insights into a disturbing habit
- Scream and Shout: Young childrens tantrums can be exhausting to deal with, so it helps if everyone, especially parents, understand why they occur
- Routine Matters: Children need adults to set boundaries in order to feel secure and have a neasure for their independence
- Worry Not: Dealing with children's anxieties so they can move on into maturity requires tact and understanding by adults
- Pressing Needs: There is usually a reason for attention-seeking behaviour and to help the child it's vital to identify underlying problems
- Surgery Hours: Visits to the doctor or dentist cannot be avoided, but the terror that they strike in some children can
- Show of Strength: Understanding how children's capacity for empathy is obstructed can shed light on why they may become bullies
