This is me with Gail Carney. She is the Director of Directed Studies for the Neufeld Virtual Campus.
I was invited to take part in the taping of his new DVD series called The Art & Science of Transplanting Children.
It was held at the Grant MacEwan Theatre in Edmonton at the University of Alberta. It was an amazing experience and the DVDs will be available in the new year.
Dr. Gordon Neufeld talked at length about separation complex, attachment, and how the brain works when trauma strikes.
He addressed issues with foster and adoptive children. Children of divorce and step children.How we go about disciplining them and how we apply his attachment-based developmental paradigm into practice with these transplanted children.
My favourite quote from this conference was that "children need to ADOPT us as their parents".
