What do children truly need to thrive, to flourish, to become all they were meant to be? After years of study and experience Dr. Gordon Neufeld has determined that there are four irreducible needs that must be met. These are to attach, to feel, to rest and to play. This presentation will explain how we can create an environment which will support our children in being able to become the kind of person who can function separately with emotional health and well-being, continue to be full of curiosity and wonder, be able to relate to others with consideration and empathy, and be capable of caring deeply and effectively. The answer does not mean doing more. The answer lies in our confidence that we can become the answer our children need.
