210. Hold their heart to capture their mind, featuring Dr. Gordon Neufeld

Sometimes it seems like as a parent you work so hard to find the best way to parent your kiddo, only to miss the mark. Parenting strategies can be helpful, but if you’re not paying attention to the big picture of building real connection, you lose sight of what matters.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld is a developmental psychologist and author, whose ideas are based on the attachment theory of parenting. The way he dissects his thoughts today is almost poetic, as he explains why relationship and connection matter more than anything else we could possibly try to do.
