Cognavis is built for the adults in a child's life — and for the child that still lives in every adult. Choose the path that speaks to where you are right now.
You are not failing. You are finding your way.
You are a grandparent, a foster carer, an adoptive caregiver, or a parent — or simply an adult who has taken on the extraordinary responsibility of a child's emotional world. You are searching not because you have failed but because you want to understand. That instinct is the whole thing.
Cognavis gives you what the search was always pointing at: not another list of techniques, not a stricter routine, not a better reward chart. Understanding. Of why your child does what they do. Of what safety actually feels like to a developing mind. And — quietly, gently — of the patterns you may be carrying from your own childhood that show up in the moments that are hardest.
"The inner child drives more caregiving decisions than the adult mind does. This is not a criticism. It is a map."
Everything Cognavis builds for caregivers is grounded in the best available research — attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, and the science of emotional development — written in language that serves you, not overwhelms you.
A caregiver handout on what emotional safety actually means and what it looks and feels like in everyday moments.
Open handout →A plain-language guide to decoding what a child's behaviour is communicating — and what to do with that understanding.
Coming soonA six-part series for caregivers moving through each anchor — what it is, why it matters, and how to build it at home.
Coming soonSelf-guided reflection tools for caregivers who want to understand how their own early experiences show up in their caregiving today.
Coming soonThe behaviour is never the problem. It is always the beginning of the conversation.
You are an early years professional, a primary school teacher, a teaching assistant, a childminder, or a member of a nursery team. You see children in the hours between home and home. You witness things that caregivers do not. And you carry questions that standard training did not answer.
Cognavis builds materials for real classrooms and real children — the ones who withdraw, the ones who disrupt, the ones who seem fine but aren't, and the ones who are simply waiting for an adult to understand what they cannot yet say.
"Safety is the prerequisite for all learning. It is a felt experience — and it is transmitted."
A practical SEL tool, aligned to the Cognavis framework and the six anchors. For ages 5–12.
Coming soonAn evidence-informed educator training module on Anchor 1 — what it looks like, how it is built, and how to transmit it.
Coming soonLesson plans, printables, and observation checklists for each anchor, mapped to EYFS and primary school frameworks.
Coming soonEvidence-based observation frameworks that help educators see and document what is actually happening, without pathologising children.
Coming soonEvidence-informed tools and frameworks — ready to use, ready to adapt, grounded in what the research says.
You are a child psychologist, a therapist, a family counsellor, or a professional who supports children and families. You are looking for materials and frameworks that are rigorous without being rigid, evidence-based without being inaccessible.
Cognavis draws on nine evidence-informed frameworks — attachment theory, IFS, trauma-informed practice, Positive Discipline, Reggio Emilia, Montessori, EYFS, ICDP, and intergenerational trauma research — and builds materials aligned across all of them.
"All parts are welcome. Every behaviour — in a child or an adult — comes from a part of the self that is trying to help."
Cognavis materials are educational tools, not clinical instruments. They are designed to support professional practice — not replace it.
A structured comparison of nine frameworks across key dimensions.
Coming soonTopic-level evidence briefs for each anchor, with citations and practical application notes.
Coming soonStructured facilitator materials for professionals delivering the Cognavis framework.
Coming soonIFS-informed worksheets and reflection tools for adult clients working on inner child material.
Coming soonAll parts are welcome here. You do not need to have a child in your care to belong at Cognavis.
You are an adult who has begun to understand that the patterns of your childhood are still with you. That the way you were raised, the things you were or were not given, the parts of yourself that learned to hide or fight or disappear — they are not gone. They are present. And they are asking to be seen.
Cognavis holds a space for adults doing this work. Not clinical work — that belongs with a qualified professional, and we will always say so clearly. But the quieter, daily work of understanding yourself more honestly. Of recognising the younger parts of you that are still operating on old information.
"This is not failure. There is nothing to fix. There is only something to see."
If you are working through significant trauma, please do so with the support of a qualified professional. Cognavis tools are a complement to that work, not a replacement for it.
An introduction to the IFS framework for lay audiences — understanding the different parts of yourself with curiosity rather than judgment.
Coming soonA reflective journey through the six anchors, exploring how each one was or was not built in your own childhood.
Coming soonAn exploration of intergenerational patterns — understanding where your responses come from.
Coming soonPlain-language summaries of the research behind the Cognavis framework.
