Dr. Gordon Neufeld shares his views on the importance of incorporating ritual and ceremony into the parenting journey, especially as it relates to grief.
During our conversations, we explore the hidden work of sadness, the loss of ritual, the wisdom of the lullaby, and the power of bedtime rituals. We also talk about cycles of time and how ritual can connect us to ourselves and our children.
There is more and more evidence surrounding the power of ritual in the parenting journey, especially as it relates to attachment.
Incorporating ritual and ceremony into the way we parent does more than mark the passage of time; it builds a foundation of emotional resilience, connection, and memory that can support both children and adults through the challenges and changes of life.
