Reclaiming
Our Students
Children are more anxious, aggressive, and shut down than ever. Faced with this epidemic of emotional health crises and behavioural problems, teachers are asking themselves what went wrong. Why have we lost our students? More importantly: how can we get them back? This book is a thoughtful guide to restoring the student-teacher relationship and creating the conditions for change, written by Hannah Beach and Tamara Neufeld Strijack, with a foreword by Gordon Neufeld.
Hold On To
Your Kids
This book, written by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, is about the pivotal importance of children’s relationships to those responsible for them and the devastating impact in today’s society of competing attachments with peers. However it is much more than a book on peer orientation: it is about parenting with relationship in mind. This book restores parents to their natural intuition, confronting such relationship-devastating devices as time-outs and using what children care about against them.
Rest Play
Grow
Based on the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, and written by Dr. Deborah MacNamara, offers a road map to making sense of young children, and is what every child wishes we understood about them. The key to understanding younsters lies in realizing that their challenging behaviour is not personal, nor is it a disorder or deficit. This is the story of how young children develop, from their intense need for attachment and the vital importance of play to discipline that preserves growth.
