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. Gordon Neufeld will be presenting Heart Matters: What To Do With a Child’s Feelings. This session is specifically designed for parents.
Dr. Neufeld is a highly respected Canadian developmental psychologist with over 40 years experience working with children and those responsible for them, as well as twenty years of teaching with the University of British Columbia. A foremost authority on child development, Dr. Neufeld is an international speaker in much demand, a best-selling author, and a theorist widely recognized for his abilities to make sense of complex issues.
