Neufeld Institute Recordings

In addition to our courses, we offer recordings of webinars, conference keynotes, and special presentations—making it easy to learn from Dr. Gordon Neufeld and faculty at your own pace.

Shyness, Shame, and Social Anxiety: teasing them apart

It is impossible to make sense of ourselves, never mind our children, without a clear understanding of these three important constructs. Yet increasingly, these dynamics are becoming confused with each other, with both shyness and shame losing their distinctiveness and drifting into the dark shadow of social anxiety. The impact on children can be devastating, never mind on parenting, teaching and even treatment. Teasing these dynamics apart, and reclaiming the right language to support them, has never been more important.

The Wisdom Of Dependence

The Wisdom of Dependence was Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s keynote at the 2023 Neufeld Institute Conference.

While preparing, he recognized just how central our attitudes toward dependence are in relating to children—and to one another. The topic proved too rich for a single keynote, leading Dr. Neufeld to create a four-part video series. The first two parts were shared during the conference, followed by a full four-part webinar in October 2023. He was joined by Dr. Deborah MacNamara, Tamara Strijack, and Genevieve Schreier to deepen the material with stories, illustrations, and practical insight.

Solutions to Sleep

Solutions to Sleep is a three-part webinar panel series offering follow-up support to Dr. Neufeld’s free presentation, Getting Bedtime Right.

Building on the science of sleep through the lens of attachment and emotion, Dr. Neufeld is joined by Dr. Deborah MacNamara and Tamara Strijack to explore bedtime challenges with insight, warmth, and practical guidance.

For Educators Bundle
