Last Fall, our three-year-old son Nathan’s favourite book was ''The Three Little Pigs.” Many afternoons were spent with Nathan pretending to be the piggy with the straw house while Emma, our five-year-old daughter, was the piggy with the wood house and Mom was the piggy with the brick house (the secure benchmark, the answer to worries). Dad played the big bad wolf. We replayed the story many times and while it evoked a lot of alarm in our children, it was evoked in play and was thus exploratory, expressive and imaginary...and lots of fun!
As Nathan was particularly drawn to playing with alarm, another activity he enjoyed around this time was going to the store to see the Halloween decorations. Although Emma was a bit afraid of the monster and witch costumes, Nathan never seemed ready to leave! The routine was always the same: to walk in front of a scary costume, to pretend to be afraid and then to flee into the next aisle. Like the piggy play described above, this was another playful context that allowed our children to develop a relationship with their alarm; a chance to bring something a little bit scary into the safe world of play.

We decided to go right to the heart of the matter with our topic in this conference. There is probably no dynamic or force that has been more eclipsed or misunderstood than emotion, nor one that is more important to our functioning and well-being. Respect for emotion is growing, yet there is still much ignorance as to how to foster emotional health and maturation, especially in our children and youth. Our hope is that, in attending the conference, participants will be better informed as to the mission of emotion and what we all can do to support emotion in its work.

Sometimes it really can seem like ‘youth is wasted on the young’, especially when they don’t accept our good advice! There are many factors of psychological and emotional development to consider when working with the adolescent patient in the context of the office visit. This presentation will seek to explore some of the psychological growth dynamics involved in maturation for the young person, and in particular, we will consider resistance. We will consider why resistance emerges in the young, what healthy purpose it serves, and how to best dance with such dynamics in the context of a fifteen minute office visit.

5 surprising solutions to a growing problem

PART ONE OF A FIVE-PART INTERVIEW
WITH GORDON NEUFELD AND MARIA LEROSE
Why is anxiety becoming an epidemic among children of all ages? In a May 2012 interview with Maria LeRose at The Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education, Dr. Gordon Neufeld shed fresh light on this problem, paving the way for natural interventions that focus on the root causes as opposed to just managing the symptoms.
