resonance

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sympathetic vibration' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'concerning child with article on creche environs' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'child' becomes 'son' (male child).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'article on creche environs' becomes 'ance' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
're'+'son'+'ance'='RESONANCE'

Can you help me to learn more?
