Ashcroft- Foster Parent Networking Lunch and Training

Apr 19th 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Training Topic: Heart Matters: the science of emotions with Dr. Gordon Neufeld.

“There is much focus today on children’s emotions. Constructs like emotional intelligence, emotional self-regulation, emotional well-being and emotional social learning are being bandied about like never before. Emotion, long dismissed as a nuisance factor, is now confirmed to be at the core of development and well-being.

New revelations about the nature of emotion have shed fresh light on the pivotal role of feelings in play, brain development, discipline issues, anxiety problems, maturational processes, behaviour problems, attention problems, mental health issues and much more. In this session, Dr. Neufeld distills the current scientific knowledge on emotion to three basic laws and discusses the treatment of children which is powerful in the insight it provides as well as the changes it inspires.”
