Alpha children are not only more challenging to parent but also predisposed to a number of problems including anxiety, aggression, oppositionality and eating problems.
Intensive II: The Separation Complex
Starts October 16, 2025
Thursdays 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT
Runs for 17 weeks

Building on Intensive I, this course sheds light upon the impact of separation on a child's personality and behavior. When the developmental antecedents are understood, the path to effective intervention becomes clear.
Intensive III: Becoming Attached

Mondays 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT
Runs for 17 weeks
With Genevieve Schreier
$750 CAD
Becoming Attached unfolds and expands the six roots of attachment and puts the focus more on adults than in the first two levels. The course is also a journey through Dr. Neufeld's earlier theoretical development which created the puzzle pieces that ultimately came together in the six roots of attachment.
