Hold Onto Your Kids: The Listening Project
Partners for 30 years. Parents, therapists, filmmakers, and the creators of Thrive.one
Your Experience Matters: Help shape this film with us
We are the founders of Thrive.one—parents, therapists, and filmmakers creating the much-anticipated documentary based on the bestselling book Hold Onto Your Kids by Dr. Gordon Neufeld, supported by Dr. Gabor Maté.
Before we finish this film, we need to hear from you.
We want to learn from the people on the front lines—the teachers, educators, therapists, and support workers who see what's really happening with children and families today. We want to hear from parents and caregivers navigating a world that wasn't built to protect the sensitive spirits in their care.
I remember what it felt like trying to raise a sensitive child in a world that didn't understand how to preserve their essence. We are all responding to a world that changed faster than any of us were prepared for.
This is your invitation to come inform us as filmmakers. To help us shape not just this film, but the wider support that will follow.
This listening circle is for:
- Parents and caregivers raising children in today's world
- Teachers witnessing the shifts in classrooms and connection
- Educators working to preserve childhood in systems that weren't designed for it
- Therapists supporting children and families through dysregulation and disconnection
- Anyone on the front lines who sees what's being lost—and what's worth fighting for
