Their Pivotal Role in Behavior and Development

Parents, Social Workers, Educators and Educational Assistants, Therapists, Foster Parents, Youth Workers, Ministers, Daycare Workers, and anyone else who has children in their lives and wants to learn more about helping them achieve their full human potential.

Lunch and snacks provided.

A child’s emotions can be large, loud, and messy! And yet, emotion is now confirmed to be at the core of development and well-being. What are the implications for raising children? How can we ensure healthy hearts and what does heart hygiene look like? Should we be discouraging negative emotions and should we be encouraging our children to calm down? What role does the mind play in matters of the heart? Dr. Neufeld will address these questions and more, bringing some needed clarity to the plethora of confusing information that is bombarding parents today.

Dr. Neufeld’s approach has the power to change, if not save, the lives of our children. (National Post)

Two basic principles of the Neufeld approach:

- Children are resilient and can thrive in difficult circumstances as long as they have at least one emotionally connected relationship with a caring adult

- the key to effective parenting lies not in what we DO but in who we ARE to our children.

Parenting is one of the toughest but most important jobs we'll ever do. Children don’t come with a manual and can bring out the best in us and the worst in us as parents. Parents feel ashamed because we take the behavior of our child personally, especially if it’s so-called problem behavior. Parents are naturally intuitive, but often feel we have lost the power to parent effectively. Dr. Gordon Neufeld provides us with a map to help us navigate the many challenges of parenting. The Neufeld material helps us to understand our children's behaviour from the inside out, from a developmental perspective, and then our insight guides us in what to do. Gaining confidence in our parenting can help us to feel more confident overall. Participants in previous courses have testified that the implementation of small changes in their approach to parenting has resulted in a significant difference in the lives of their children and the functioning of their families.
