The task of turning children into adults has never been more daunting. An adolescent is neither child nor adult – and therein lies much of the difficulty, turbulence, confusion, and challenge. They need us, yet need to not need us. We are their best bet, yet their instincts are to resist us.
Details
Course participants will view Dr. Neufeld's pre-recorded lecture videos through our virtual campus and then participate in a weekly live Zoom class as a group to discuss the material. While individuals can take this course at any time on their own through our virtual campus, this is a unique opportunity to meet with others weekly and be supported by Neufeld Institute Faculty members Robin Brooks-Sherriff and Lisa Weiner.
All of the classes are recorded, enabling those who are unavailable to attend the live class to catch up by watching the recording. Class recordings are posted online within 24 hours and are available for the duration of the course.
