HOLD ONTO YOUR KIDS: Why Parents Matter

A disturbing and misunderstood trend of our time is that of peers replacing parents in the lives of our children. Dr. Gordon Neufeld's upcoming presentation at Vancouver Technical High School will deal with restoring parenting to its natural intuitive basis and the adult-child relationship to its rightful preeminence. The concepts, principles and practical advice provided at HOLD ON TO YOUR KIDS will empower parents to satisfy children's inborn need to find direction by turning towards them for authority, contact and warmth.
GORDON NEUFELD, Ph.D., is a Vancouver-based clinical psychologist with over thirty years of experience working with children and those who parent and teach them. He has a widespread reputation for his ability to make sense of difficult and complex problems and to open doors for change. His insights are in demand by professionals and parents across the country. Dr. Neufeld is nationally recognized for his work on aggression and violence among children and youth and appears regularly on radio and television.
