About this episode

Psychologist Gordon Neufeld discusses the importance of parental relationships in child development and the consequences of peer influence.

„A parent is by far child’s best compass point.“ Says psychologist Gordon Neufeld, who studies child development. What are the consequences when relationship with parents is replaced by relationships with the child’s peers? Why does he think that „as we start parenting by book, it dumbs us down“ ? By the way: he is author of book Hold on to your kids written with Gabor Maté. And how to behave when the child is aggressive? When the child is overcome by emotions? Or when the family breaks up?
