#3 Gordon Neufeld Public Address
Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a foremost authority on child development and author of Hold On To Your Kids, will hold a rare public address on Tuesday, March 12th.
How to keep children safe in a wounding world
What can parents and teachers do to keep their children safe? Signs of alarm are skyrocketing in our children and bullies seem more numerous than ever. Peer interaction - the primary source of wounding in today's world - is now only a click away and seems virtually never-ending for many children. In the aftermath of recent teenage suicides, legislators are scrambling to pass laws and social activists are calling upon the social media to police themselves. But laws won't address the existence of a mean streak and the social media have yet to demonstrate a conscience.
If we cannot change the world around them for the better, how do we keep the world from changing our children for the worse? What are the factors that put children at risk and how can we recognize when they are in trouble? How do we protect our children without heading for the hills or locking them up? Dr. Neufeld will address these issues and point to a way through that puts parents and teachers back into the driver's seat with regards to the children in their care.
