Making Sense of Kids - Dr. Gordon Neufeld

This is Dr. Neufeld's keynote from the Tenth Annual Vancouver Neufeld Conference, held in April 2018.

Our need for insight as parents and teachers has never been greater. Ironically, the information age has flooded us with information and simultaneously blinded us to its meaning. Knowledge without insight can be dangerous.

For over a century now, social scientists have applied themselves to making sense of adults with the assumption that the dynamics would be the same for children. Paradoxically, it turns out that the key to making sense of ourselves lies in making sense of our children. Even more importantly, making sense of kids enables us to become the parents and teachers our children need. The better we see, the less reactive and more effective we are. Insight tends to bring out the best in us.

From his 45 years of experience, Dr. Neufeld will share the insights he believes are indispensable with regards to children.
