Dr. Neufeld will present on the subject of his bestselling book concerning the pivotal role of children’s relationships to their parents for healthy development as well as for ease and effectiveness of parenting. When children are not in right relationship to their parents, nothing will work, for them or for us. According to Dr. Neufeld, societal change has left the child-parent relationship unprotected and peers are increasingly replacing parents in the lives of our children. Come hear this international authority talk about what we can do to cultivate and preserve the kind of relationships with our children that can keep us from losing them and that will enable them to hold on to us until maturity naturally parts us.
