I am Gordon Neufeld. I am a clinical and developmental psychologist. I live in Vancouver with my wife, have five kids, all adults, and three grandkids, which we love dearly. And my life's work basically has been to make sense of kids and then to be able to impart this knowledge to parents and teachers and to helping professionals. I used to teach at university and had a private practice for 40 years. I've retired from that and now devote my life full time to creating courses for parents, for teachers, and helping professionals and training people how to faculty and so on how to teach these courses. And so I have Neufeld Institute, which now has faculty in a number of countries, a worldwide organization in trying to get this information. My burning objective is to be able to restore parents to their natural intuition, to put them back in the driver's seat with their children. And my hope is that I will be able to do that.
