WHERE HAS MY SWEET CHILD GONE?!
THE CHALLENGE OF HOLDING ON
TO OUR YOUNG TEENS
BY ROBIN BROOKS-SHERRIFF
Anyone spending time with a young teenager knows that they can be lovely and
intriguing one moment and irrational and angry the next. Their emotions are strong
and their prefrontal cortex is under major reconstruction, resulting in incredible highs,
desperate lows, mature insight, and impulsive reactions – sometimes all in one day.
The early teen years can be incredibly hard to parent through. Somewhere in the
eleven- to thirteen-year age range, our previously reasonable children are likely to
become completely allergic to direction. They can appear inconsiderate, act rashly,
and yes, even throw tantrums.

Educators everywhere have been asking for support.
Many are wanting to bring the developmental paradigm
to their learning communities, but are not sure where to
find resources. And there's nothing like having a village
to learn and grow with. We heard this, felt this and came
together to create this! Thus, the IDEA Centre!
This Centre is for YOU, in whatever way you are supporting
children to learn and grow. We look forward to meeting
you and having you as part of our village!

The Neufeld Institute has created
a website to support educators!
