The challenges facing children and young people today can often feel overwhelming. We can despair as to how we might help children just to survive - let alone flourish!
Parents and professionals, alike, are tempted to work harder and try to get the child to grow up faster, focusing on them becoming independent, resilient and emotionally regulated. However, we often find our effort and encouragement amounts to nothing, leaving us stuck in a cycle of hopelessness and frustration.
Are there alternatives through? How do we help our children to become developmentally mature? What are the key conditions needed for this to happen? Are there other ways that our efforts and attention could be better spent, resulting in better outcomes for the children? Is flourishing even possible for a child when the world around them seems so alarming and difficult?
We invite you to attend this two- day online conference to examine these questions from various angles. We are excited to bring some great presenters from both Neufeld Aotearoa and The Neufeld Institute in Canada. Our presenters will offer fresh insight into the key conditions that enable a child to mature, flourish, and bring hope, as they explore some natural and intuitive ways to help children develop.
This conference is relevant for parents, caregivers, teachers, counsellors, social workers, mental health clinicians - basically anyone who knows a child and would like to hold and offer hope. We believe you can make a difference.
