Podcast appearances and mentions of Gordon Neufeld

AMDG. Catholic podcaster and co-founder/vice-president of  CatholicCounselors.comLisa Popcak shares her wisdom on homeschooling and raising children in the faith. Lisa advocates for “flow” rather than structure in the homeschool day and paints a picture of what a rich— but achievable— prayer life looks like in a busy home. “We have to get away from the idea that our prayer life has to be rigorous,” Lisa says. “If our children are called to a rigorous monastic life, God will give them the grace for that. We have many saints who were… and many saints who went a different way.”     Kolbecast episodes mentioned & relevant:  255 Family Life as Liturgy with Dr. Greg Popcak  131 It's All about Relationship with Danielle Bean  Related links:   CatholicHOM (Households on Mission)  CatholicCounselors.com  More2Life Radio & podcasts  Books by Dr. Greg & Lisa Popcak  Momfidence podcast  BeDADitudes podcast  Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers by Gordon Neufeld & Gabor Maté  Have questions or suggestions for future episodes or a story of your own experience that you'd like to share?

“It's not about free play with peers. It's not even about free play. It's about emotional playgrounds, and this is where culture is important, and you can't transmit your culture without attachments. Your children need to be attached to you.” - Dr. Gordon NeufeldToday's special guest on 2 Dads 1 Car is Dr. Gordon Neufeld, a father of five, grandfather to seven, prolific educator, and bona fide parenting expert in both educational background and experience. In this episode, Dr. Neufeld delves into his attachment-minded approach to parenting by re-framing the concept of parent-child connection in the context of his own experiences. With touching stories as a son, father, and grandfather, Dr. Neufeld portrays the power of delineating between parent and peer attachment during the development process, and raising healthy children at home before they enter society. Thank you very much to Dr. Neufeld for this masterclass in fatherhood and parenting!

In questo episodio esploriamo un tema di grande rilevanza per la crescita di bambini e bambine: l'orientamento ai pari secondo la prospettiva di Gordon Neufeld e Gabor Maté, i quali ne hanno ampiamente parlato nel volume "I vostri figli hanno bisogno di voi" - ed. Il Leone Verde.Scopriremo cosa significa quando i bambini iniziano a guardare principalmente ai loro coetanei per orientamento e approvazione, piuttosto che agli adulti di riferimento. Questo episodio vi fornirà una lente per guardare alle relazioni sociali dei bambini più a fondo e per accompagnarli a crescere con relazioni ben bilanciate tra adulti e coetanei.Per continuare a seguire Percorsi formativi 06, ti indichiamo i nostri canali: SITO www.percorsiformativi06.it INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/percorsiformativi06/ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/c/SilviaIaccarinoPercorsiformativi06/videos FB https://www.facebook.com/percorsiformativi06 GRUPPO FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/177748889440303/ TELEGRAM  https://t.me/percorsiformativi06 NEWSLETTER https://percorsiformativi06.it/iscrizione-alla-newsletter/ RIEPILOGO DEI NOSTRI CONTENUTI https://linktr.ee/pf06

In so many ways, "Hold On to Your Kids" by Gabor Maté and Gordon Neufeld was such an influential read for our own parenting journeys and in creating The Reconnected! In this podcast, we unpack how kids can end up more attached to their friends than their parents and what that means for their development. We got real about our struggles with our own children and reflected on our teenage years, too, seeing how our society basically pushes kids toward peer connections while weakening the parent-child bond. And this may come as no surprise, but our breathwork practice has been a game-changer for reclaiming our connection with our kids when things get tough.

In this powerful episode, Jess sits down with renowned developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld to unpack the growing mental health crisis among children today. Dr. Neufeld shares how children are losing their ability to feel deeply, struggling to engage in true play, and searching for belonging in all the wrong places. He challenges our desire to raise independent kids, calling it “one of the most ridiculous things,” and instead emphasizes the critical role of connection and attachment. You'll walk away with a deeper understanding of why you are the answer to your child's struggles—and how to step fully into your role as a confident, compassionate leader in your home.

I Am Known (Identity Series)Psalm 139:1-4 "O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.”I read a post on Facebook yesterday that pointed me to Psalm 139.  It was about different verse in the psalm, but when I read the whole thing I realized it was a really good one.  They all probably are great.  I have heard if you are going to start reading the Bible for the first time you should start with the Gospels, or with the Psalms.  That must mean they are pretty good.  These verses stood out to me in particular because they talk about how well God knows us.  Being Known is one of the six stages of Attachment developed by psychologist Gordon Neufeld.  His model presents six stages of attachment that create the foundations for virtually every relationship your children will ever have.  Since we are God's children, This is important to us as well.  I will list the six stages and then will focus on Being Known.  The stages are Proximity, Sameness, Belonging or Loyalty, Significance, Love & Being Known.Reading through those I think this verse may touch on more than one of them.  However, let's begin with Being Known and go from there.  Every single one of us longs to be known.  This is why we get upset when our loved ones get us a gift we don't like.  It is not necessarily the gift that upsets us, it is the fact that they didn't know us well enough to know we wouldn't like it.  God isn't like that.  God is omniscient, which means he has infinite awareness, understanding, and insight.  Another definition is that He possesses universal or complete knowledge.  God knows everything about you.  He can read your thoughts, he knows your actions and He also knows your heart behind your actions.  God knows why you did all the things you did.  This can be scary for some people because they feel they don't want God to know everything about them.  They feel they are not worthy of being known.  Some people might worry that God knows all they have done because they have done some things they are not proud of.  This is all of us actually.  I am sure there is not a single person who has gone through their whole life without doing some things they are not proud of.  We all say the wrong thing sometimes.  We all do the wrong thing sometimes.  We all hurt people intentionally or unintentionally.  The thing to remember is that God is not surprised by our behavior.  He has searched us and He knows us.  This means He knows all of us.  He doesn't just look at the things we did that we wish we hadn't done.  He looks at everything we have done.  He knows our motives behind all we have done.  He looks straight into our heart.  This is a good thing because He sees what we can't see.  He knows that when we acted out and yelled that we hated our parents, we didn't really hate them.  He knows that when we yelled at our spouse or our friend it was really because we were hurting inside, or because we had an awful day at work and needed a safe space to let off steam.  He knows that when we yelled at our children when we caught them doing drugs or something else dangerous it was because we were really scared.  He knows that when we were unkind to the person in line it was because of all the stress and pressure at work.  God Knows Everything!  He gets it.  He understands that our actions aren't who we are.  
He knows that, but do we know that?  Do we give ourselves the grace of examining our behavior after the fact?  Do we allow ourselves forgiveness when we factor in our motives?  I am not saying the things I listed above are good reasons to do those things.  I don't think we should take our frustrations out on our spouse, friends, or kids.  I am not excusing the behaviors, I am explaining them though.  If your friend was super stressed at work and then you called and asked a question and they yelled at you, would you be angry with them?  Would you want to stop being friends with that person?  Would you realize that was out of character and try to find out what was wrong with your friend?  We tend to have so much grace for other people and yet not very much for ourselves.  I would love it if we could change that.  I would love it if we could all start to see ourselves a little more through the Lord's eyes.  The next line says, “You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.”  God knows all your ways.  He knows that you are grumpy before coffee in the morning.  He knows you don't like change.  He knows you don't like to stay up late.  He knows you are irritable if you get hungry.  He also knows you are a great mom, dad, friend.  He knows you are a great employee,  He knows you are a great spouse or partner.  He knows the good, the bad and the ugly and you know what, He still loves you.  He loves you not despite all of it, but because of all of it.  The verse says He knows our words even before we say them. I wish sometimes He would guard my mouth and prevent me from saying some of them.  How about you?  Have you ever wished you hadn't say something?  Have you ever just blurted something out that felt right in the moment and yet you instantly regretted it?  I know I have.  God knows our thoughts and He knows our words.  Again, he knows the thoughts and feelings behind our words.  He knows the feelings that we might not even know.  Sometimes we may feel angry and yet we are just worried or anxious.  God knows this.  God knows our heart, even when we don't.  We are known and loved by God.  We are accepted and loved by God.  God knows us better than anyone we have ever known and He loves us.  I need everyone single one of you to hear that on an individual level today.  You are known by God.  God knows your inner most thoughts and desires.  God knows the why behind your actions.  God sees through all the BS that we put up to protect ourselves and He sees you, the real you.  God loves you!  He loves you right this very second, right as you are.  He isn't waiting for you to become something else, He isn't waiting until to you do this or that, He isn't waiting for you to be perfect.  He knows you and loves you just as you are.  He loves all you imperfections, He loves all the ways you spread His love and His light.  Yes you do, you spread His love and His light just by being you!  God loves you, all of you!!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today!  Lord, I ask you to open everyone's hearts and minds so they can really hear this message today.  Help each and every listener hear how much you know them and how much you love them.  Help them to feel it down to their core Lord.  We ask you to guard our thoughts and our words.  We pray that our thoughts conform to your thoughts.  Lord you are so amazing.  You know everything about us and you still love us.  Help us to do the same. Help us to know ourselves and still love ourselves.  Soften our hearts o Lord!  We love you and we ask all of this in accordance with you will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus!

Obilje informacij, digitalnost in spletnost, hitrejše, celo hektično življenje, neizprosne zahteve po vse večji produktivnosti, spremenjen sistem vrednot, vse to je današnja družba, sistem, kjer je čas, da pojave, ki so nam bili nekdaj samoumevni, na novo pogledamo, poimenujemo in razumemo v luči novih kontekstov. Še posebej te pregovorne modrosti, ki so postale votla, zlizana puhlica »na mladih svet stoji« in otroci so naš največji zaklad«. A so res? Kje je to vidno? Kje to vzgajamo, kje negujemo? Danes se bomo v Intelekti spraševali - Ali smo spregledali vrednost mladih? Mladi so vse bolj tesnobni, depresivni, naraščajo samopoškodovalna vedenja. V tako zelo slavljeni družbi znanja, jih usmerjamo v tekmovalnost, pomembnost rezultatov in ocen. Kdaj je mlad človek najbolj vreden? Ko spozna sebe, svoje potenciale ali ko služi družbi, sistemu? Svet bržkone bolj kot kdajkoli potrebuje zavedanje kaj je bistveno. In kot morda malce utopično, glede na kontekst trenutnega sistema in vrednot pravi eden vodilnih svetovnih strokovnjakov za razvoj otrok dr. Gordon Neufeld »vsak je lahko starš, ki ga potrebuje njegov otrok", oziroma, če parafraziramo »vsakdo je lahko odrasel, ki ga mladi potrebujejo.« Pogovorimo se. Zato je avtorica in voditeljica oddaje Liana Buršič v goste povabila Ivano Gradišnik, ustanoviteljico in vodjo slovenskega Familylaba in dr. Klemna Laha (Filozofska fakulteta v Ljubljani, Center za slovenščino kot drugi in tuji jezik, član strokovnega sveta RS za splošno izobraževanje, tudi avtor učbenikov, beril in drugih strokovnih gradiv, beril za gimnazijo in srednjo šolo).

Ref.: Maria Elisabeth Schmidt, Gründerin von herzensgipfel.de und Autorin Das digitale Zeitalter hat die Kindheit von Grund auf verändert. Viele Eltern betrachten mit Sorge den ungehemmten Vormarsch von Social Media, Streamingdiensten und Computerspielen in die Kinderzimmer. Wie können bei dieser übermächtig scheinenden Konkurrenz noch gesunde Familienbande gepflegt und gute Werte vermittelt werden? Genau an dieser Stelle setzen die Seminare und Vorträge von Maria Elisabeth Schmidt an: Auf Grundlage der Forschung des kanadischen Entwicklungspsychologen Prof. Gordon Neufeld plädiert sie dafür, vor allem in die Herzensbindung zu den Kindern zu investieren - denn nur in sicheren Beziehungen können Kinder sich zu reifen Menschen entwickeln. Was Eltern tun können, um ihre Kinder nicht an eine sie aggressiv umwerbende mediale Kultur zu verlieren, darum geht es in der Lebenshilfe.

Whether it's about recognising the signs, fostering empathy, or knowing when to seek help, this episode is packed with practical advice you can put into action today.Key Takeaways:Understanding the difference between stress and anxiety: Stress is often tied to specific events and can dissipate once the issue resolves.

Catch Part 1 of this 2-part series here.  Raising kids the embodied way is an experiment I'm in the midst of.  I have a 5 year and 8 month old who are both stubborn, intelligent, creative, brilliant kids.  I'm constantly exploring how I can employ emotionally intelligent values in the way I parent.  To be clear, this isn't my speciality, or body of work. I'm a somatic educator & coach, but parenting isn't my zone of mastery. Today's podcast came about from a listener's request and it's something I'm so happy to shed some light on.  Today I'm sharing 10 strategies I use with my kids.  Specific little techniques, tricks, approaches or resources I do.  This is moreso with my 5 year old, but the principles and some of the practices still apply for my baby. If you have old kids, most of these will still be relevant.    Resources from today's podcast  Podcast Part 1  In My Heart: A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek and Christine Roussey Book of Invisible Things  Dr. Becky Kennedy  Hold On To Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld.  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification   

How can we support our kids to be the most embodied, emotionally intelligent generation ever? I recently received a request from a podcast listener to speak about embodied mothering.  I'm not an expert in this area, but as a Feminine Embodiment Coach & international founder of a somatic school of training AND parent to two little humans… I do have lots of thoughts on the topic that I'm so happy to share.  Parenting isn't my body of work. It's not the space of genius I'm here to contribute to the world. So I haven't analyzed my parenting in depth to give it language, structures or frameworks (unlike somatic coaching, which I do love to dissect in fine detail!).  Also, I'm a parent to a 8 month old and 5 year old, so there's a certain level of emotional and physical maturity that my kids have, which might be different if your kids are older, or hold different genders or identities.  Personally I want to be the one to teach my children their values & an embodied culture in how they relate to themselves, others and the world.  In Part 1 (this episode) we're diving into embodiment for yourself as a mother or parent.  In Part 2 (coming soon) I'm sharing 10 approaches I use to parent my kids.  We're doing it in this order because you can't foster deeper embodiment with your kids if you're not practicing it yourself.  The person you are BEING is the clearest teacher for your child.  I'm not an expert in this area, but as a Feminine Embodiment Coach AND parent to two little humans… I do have lots of thoughts on the topic that I'm so happy to share.    Resources from today's podcast:  Hold On To Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld.  Primal Feminine Flow - at home embodiment practice  Feminine Embodiment Coaching Certification 

Episode Overview: In this episode, I explore the importance of building strong connections with children and being a dependable figure in their lives, especially in early childhood education settings. I reflect on key insights from the book Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté, particularly on the dangers of peer orientation and how it impacts children's behaviour. I also share practical tips for creating a stable, connected environment for the children in your care. Key Points: Peer Orientation vs. Adult Connection: When children don't have strong connections with adults, they often turn to their peers for guidance, which can lead to behavioural and emotional challenges. As educators, we play a vital role in helping children form secure attachments by being the steady, reliable adults they can trust. Supporting Behaviour Through Connection: Children need us to be consistent and dependable. When we create a stable, predictable environment, we help them feel safe, which is key to managing behaviour and fostering emotional security. It's not about being perfect; it's about showing up in a grounded and confident way so children know they can rely on us. Dependability in Practice: Being dependable means setting clear boundaries and routines. Children feel more secure when they know what to expect each day. Simple choices, like offering a child the option of wearing a red jumper or a yellow one, give them a sense of control without overwhelming them. The Power of Routine: I talk about the importance of keeping the environment familiar and not changing things too often. When we provide consistency, it helps children feel settled and connected. Think about how disorienting it is when a supermarket changes its layout—it's the same for children when their environment is constantly being altered. Stability is key. Practical Tips for Educators: I share some personal strategies for staying calm and centred as an educator, like taking a few minutes to reset your energy when you're feeling overwhelmed. Engaging children in everyday tasks, like folding washing, can create moments of connection, especially when a child is struggling. Upcoming Events: I'm so excited to announce the Big Hearted Education Conference, happening in June! This will be an amazing opportunity for family daycare providers to connect, learn, and grow. Also, doors for the Essential Elements program open on October 14th. This is a great chance for educators to deepen their practice and build stronger relationships with the children in their care. You can jump on the waitlist here www.bigheartededucation.com/waitlist Further Reading: I highly recommend Hold On to Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté. It's packed with insights into why adult connections are so important for children's development. Get in Touch: I'd love to hear your thoughts on today's episode!

Adoptee Sara Easterly, Birth Parent Kelsey Vander Vliet Ranyard, and Adoptive Parent Lori Holden join host Adi Tilford in a discussion focusing on the theme of forgiveness within the context of adoption.

The conversation highlights varied methods that the guests use to connect with their emotions, including engaging with animals, enjoying nature, indulging in sad media content, and creating intentional quiet moments. Towards the end, the participants reflect on moments of delight in their lives, illustrating the significance of recognizing simple pleasures amidst complex emotional experiences.

Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with Deborah MacNamara about adapting as a parent. Top 12 Tips To Help Your Complex Kids Got complex kids? Yeah, so do we. Parenting a complex kid can be frustrating, overwhelming, and isolating. It can also be incredibly rewarding -- with the right help and guidance! This FREE insider's guide  from the experts at ImpactParents includes our top 12 tips to help you create a calm, peaceful home and guide your kids to become more independent every day. Here is what to expect on this week's show: The developmentalist approach, explained by Deborah McNamara, focuses on understanding human development and its connection to parenting. This approach emphasizes helping children grow and thrive, and understanding what parents need to do to support their child's development. Parenting complex kids can be a challenging and rewarding journey. These complex kids require parents to adapt and be flexible to understand their unique needs. Parenting, in general, is an adaptive endeavor, but it becomes even more apparent when raising children with complex needs. The key to adaptation lies in keeping our hearts warm and maintaining a sense of care and patience, even in the face of frustration and stress. Neurodivergent development explores the challenges faced by parents of neurodivergent children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of creating supportive environments and providing structure, routine, and boundaries to help these children develop their identity and navigate the world. Trial and error is crucial for neurodivergent individuals to navigate their lives and find their passions. By giving them opportunities to be the answer to something, such as through volunteer work or involvement in a community, they can develop a sense of identity and learn appropriate behavior. The topic of holding on to kids while allowing them to let go explores the long-term relationship between parents and their children. Deborah emphasizes the importance of this throughout their development, from infancy to adulthood. She finds inspiration in Gordon and Gabbar's book, "Hold on to Your Kids." Holding on to our children means providing support and guidance, even when we are not physically present. It involves instilling our values and fostering a healthy and independent relationship.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley answer questions submitted by their patron supporters!Questions Covered in This Episode:If God didn't reveal his name as Yahweh until he told Moses, why do we see Moses using that name throughout the book of Genesis in quotations by Adam (Gen 4:1), Lamech (Gen 5:29), Noah (9:26)?I think when most people think of God in Exodus and the Old Testament in general they think of the Father. Could you all discuss the work of the economic Trinity throughout Exodus?What your thoughts on life after death? I've always been taught to be absent from the body is to be present from the Lord, but I listened to a Bible Project podcast that taught that we'll be in a deep sleep until the second coming of Christ when the dead in Christ will rise.Tell us about someone that you've discipled that has really grown and flourished, who might be really kicking it for the Kingdom now. How did the relationship begin? What contributed to their growth?What's your opinion on sushi?Where do you see single gender spaces being valuable vs. mixed gender spaces? For example, do you see men and women learning inductive Bible study methods together? Spiritual disciplines/formation? How would men and women share in teaching in those spaces?How do each of your spouses support you in ministry/your ministry? How has being in ministry affected your marriages?Reading across translations, Genesis 3:15 often doesn't sound like a promise of victory or defeat since it's directed at the serpent. Would the first hearers have understood it as a promise, or is it something we project on this statement in hindsight?If the three persons of the trinity have only one will, why would Christ need to intercede for us to the Father?Where does children's ministry help and where does children's ministry hurt (in the context of the Sunday gathering)? What are potential pitfalls to be avoided when leading children's ministry and what parts shouldn't be overlooked?Would like to hear perspective on the Enneagram.What are your thoughts on how to deeply disciple in a space where the few seasoned believers are already at capacity?If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, how should we think about what the fear of the Lord is?What are your thoughts on how/when to apply a “plain reading of scripture” versus diving deep into the original language, culture, and context to inform our understanding and application of God's Word?Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Genesis 4:1, 5:29, 9:26, 3:15, The Bible ProjectKnowing Faith Episode 197“Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté MD “The Coddling of the American Mind” by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan HaidtSponsors:Interested in free theological training?
